I’ve been teaching the Dunstan Baby Language since 2006. 

In that time, we’ve helped tens of thousands of parents learn to listen closely, and effectively to their baby’s natural, reflex language with our parenting classes.

As well as our network of global trainers, we have developed a comprehensive suite of online courses and products that parents can access so they can quickly and easily learn the Dunstan Baby Language. Beginning the journey of taking control of their parenting life the same day.

We launched all the way back in 2006 on the Oprah show with just a DVD. I’m incredibly proud of the parenting classes and resources we’ve created since then. And we’re always looking at improving them to make them more useful, more practical, and answer more questions that parents might have.

The Dunstan Baby Language is based on five simple, but incredibly powerful ‘words’.

Every newborn baby from any cultural background makes them. Because they are natural sounds. Sounds that come from a baby’s natural physiological responses to their needs. The word ‘Neh’, for example, is the sound of a baby’s tongue mimicking breastfeeding on the roof of their mouth. Every baby does this when they are hungry. Which means that every baby says the word ‘Neh’.

These are universal, pre-cry, reflex sounds. Just like a hiccup or sneeze is produced involuntarily by our bodies.

In my online courses you’ll learn the subtleties of all five words, and the flexible routine that fits neatly around them. In time, you’ll begin to understand how the Dunstan Baby words combine with each other. Helping you respond to your baby’s needs even faster and more confidently.

You’ll learn to distinguish between each of the five phonetic ‘words,’ in our online course, and how to use them to create a baby-led, nurturing, flexible routine.

Oprah loves the Dunstan Baby Language too

The world discovered Priscilla Dunstan on Oprah, but the Dunstan Baby Language has become so much more. Our programmes have helped millions of parents bond with their babies and sleep more peacefully. Incredibly, this episode is still one of the most popular she’s ever had.

This has literally been a lifesaver for me. Coping with a newborn as a first time mum has been wonderful but also such a struggle and I felt like I didn’t know what my baby wanted. I never knew that a baby’s cry was universal though. Your system is amazing and has been so helpful. I’m now really in tune with my little one and I can attend to hima lot more efficiently and have him settle easier than before.

Thank you so much for this information. I can’t thank you enough. I’m a grandma who babysits frequently and it has been some time since I had babies to care for. I wish I had this information raising my kids! This is so helpful!!!! I immediately started recognizing the different cry sounds and now I feel more confident as a grandparent and how I respond to my grandbaby’s needs. God bless you.

Before learning the Dunstan Baby Language, many parents like to learn more about my parenting philosophy. So, instead of trying to condense two decades of research and experience into a snappy paragraph on this website, we created this eBook.

If you feel we’re on the same wavelength, perhaps you might consider returning to learn the Baby Language Parenting System via our online courses.

New babies can be overwhelming.  But the Dunstan Baby Language can help. Once you learn to tune your ears to listen for the Dunstan Baby Language words in your baby’s pre-cries, you’ll be able to quickly intervene before a cry turns into a scream. Building a calm, loving and rewarding parenting experience.

You will learn how to hear what your baby is asking for before they cry out for help. Priscilla Dunstan discovered what the experts missed – the important information was to be found in the subtle “pre-cry” sounds, and not in the wailing siren that followed.

She called those pre-cries the Dunstan Baby Language. 

Less crying means more sleep. For mothers, fathers as well as babies. Better feeding. Better development outcomes. Faster bonding. And more relaxed, confident parents.

Welcome to the most useful, practical, simple method to help you nurture your newborn baby. Welcome to the Dunstan Baby Language by Priscilla Dunstan.
