checking out
our e-book.

We hope you gain some knowledge to help you calm your newborn and bring peace to your parenting.

Mastery of the Dunstan Baby Language is proven to reduce stress, build confidence, and help your newborn
feel more secure and bonded. This e-book is a great pre-cursor to the Dunstan Baby Course which is
much more comprehensive and by far the best way to be trained as an expert baby listener.
Every baby is born with the ability to express their basic needs
through sound. :ears of research has found that this is a
language shared by all babies throughout the world. A simple
language that you will soon be able to hear and understand.
Welcome to the Dunstan Baby Language.

 Notice that
Eh and Heh
are quite
similar?

It’s true. They do sound similar to the untrained ear, which is unfortunate because they mean completely different things.

The Dunstan Baby Language course goes through the differences in detail, with more than a dozen video examples of each
sound included, You’ll be trained to understand exactly what part of each word to listen to, as well as the visual clues to observe
so you can be certain of your translation. Seeing the cries being analysed on video makes an enormous difference
to how quickly you can master the language and begin to gain control of your parenting life. Enrol in the course today.
