What "auntiem" was referring to is this: http://www.dunstanbaby.com/ We received the DVD as a gift. We were lucky enough not to have a fussy baby, she rarely cries, but when she does it is exactly as they say in it - all newborns have the same cries universally, world-wide, for the same needs. Example: all newborn infants cry "NEH" to signify they're hungry. They cry "OWH" when they're tired. It's wild but true, I'm surprised this information isn't more common place. I'm guessing it will be eventually! You don't need to buy the DVD, just read up on the sounds and their meanings. It's really helpful. Our baby is 5 months old now and will occasionally cry "NEH" when she wants her pacifier, too.
