About the Actor
As a child, Priscilla Dunstan demonstrated an unusual talent for sound. A gifted violinist, she could hear a piece by Mozart once, then play it back in its entirety. Her father, a professor at the University of New South Wales, identified that his daughter had a photographic memory for sounds. During her teenage years, Priscilla toured Europe and Asia as a concert violinist. She then spent 10 years exploring the world of classical singing and opera, which heightened her appreciation of how the body produces sound. For years, many mothers have believed that a baby s cries were more than just random noise. With the birth of her son Tomas, the significance of Priscilla s gift emerged, as she was able to recognise patterns in her infant son s cries. After hundreds of hours of study and observation of over 1000 babies, these sounds were formally classified, confirming that specific cries had a precise meaning. Now, after nearly a decade of research, including independent studies conducted internationally, this System has developed into the recognition of a universal language.

I was at my wits end with a colicky 3 week old! The sleepless nights and all day crying were more than I could bare. Once my husband and I discovered and began to use the Dunstan Baby Language we immediately began to recongize the "words" our daughter was using. Eventually we were able to soothe and respond to our daughters needs in a timely mannor the result was she was less fustrated and cried less. By the time she was 2 months old I was able to tell what exactly her cries meant to the point that she rarely ever even cried. Today my 11 month old is the happiest baby ever!!! We are now signing to her and have found a way to continue our communication with our baby. In a word this product is a miracle!

Priscilla Dunstan is so self-congratulating that the DVDs devote more time on how she developed the program. It would have been more useful had she used more footage of the workshop with new moms and their babies at the end of each of the six lessons.
After all the money spent on the DVD and time to review the lessons there are no guarantees your baby will utter any or all of the claimed six newborn words. Save your money for diapers.

I Bought the DVD a month after I had our beautiful baby girl Larissa.
I must say it was an act of desperation. She just cried and cried and cried.
I received the DVD on a Friday afternoon and by Monday the relief was
intense. I got it! A week later now and I hear her cry and instantly know
what she wants. I'm not saying she doesn't cry at all anymore, I can just
figure out why a lot quicker and calm her so much faster so that she doesn't become wrought with distress. There are so many world shattering smiles now.
The DVD was simple, laid out in plain language. I found it got better after a couple of watches to really get my ear in tune. I recommend it for EVERY new parent.

So I was a bit skeptical, and when i heard people saying there wasn't a lot of content I was even more skeptical. But i thought for $40 it is worth the risk if it can help my wife and I have just one good night sleep. Let me tell you - we've now had so many good days and nights I'd pay $4 million for the knowledge I learned. This is our second baby and lets just say the first one was a very different experience. We now know exactly what our baby needs and can respond fast - no guessing, no drama. And as a Dad i just love being able to help my wife and our life and home is just a happy place. The content is short but every second is gold.

We received this set as a gift, and am glad we did not pay for it ourselves. I agree with another reviewer that the amount of original material was limited to 5-10 minutes per DVD, and was overstuffed with filler material that is either useless or available in far greater detail in scores of other books (for example, burping a baby). The 3 words on the first DVD and 2 on the second could have been easily been covered in 10-15 minutes total.
I also did not feel it was useful to present the material with no reference to any variation. I have not found that our child follows the Dunstan rules for speaking. Claiming that there are no exceptions to the rules (i.e. all babies do this exactly as presented) is not only false, but not helpful for anyone who has a baby that is aparently not like any other baby on the planet.
In my opinion, any parent who actually pays attention to their own childs cries and behaviors during the cries can figure out what their baby wants as well as the Dunstan method. If your child is realy difficult to decipher, I doubt Dunstan will be of much help.
Though I believe Ms. Dunstan is a talented individual that was able to categorize some babies cries, I would not recommend anyone purchase these DVDs if you really need help. Your pediatrician can provide much more information that is actually specialized to your baby and situation. If you are very curious about the techniques presented in the DVDs, I would recommend borrowing not buying.
