Silver Bullets

It seems everyone out there is trying to sell you the 'silver bullet' to help you calm your baby. I can understand why - new parents are a vulnerable and willing to try just about anything, so they are easy targets.

We've got a pretty calm baby and even we've tried a number of the silver bullet solutions with varied degrees of success.

Last night we watched the first part of the Dunstan Baby Language DVD. Its silver bullet claim is that all babies speak the same language for the first three months of life. The language consists of five distinct cries each expressing a specific need (eat, sleep, burp, etc.).

Time will tell if this works for us. Initial trials with Landon are encouraging, however, and the thing he's telling us the most is that we need to burp him more! Takes after his dad on that one I guess.
