Baby Talk

Goo goo gaa gaa

I just went for a talk on how added DHA in baby's formula milk have not much effect in later life and how an increase in palmitate acid in the baby's diet will impair calcium absorption. After the talk, I met with an O&G guy who posed a simple but interesting question: People around the world take the trouble to learn languages of numerous countries and some of them are extremely hard to learn, but why no one has taken the effort to learn the baby's language which is universally recognized all over the world? If we can learn how to speak the language again, the whole world would be united with one common language. No more language barriers. No more useless fighting due to miscommunication. According to him, we complicate the young by teaching them the many languages that we use today.

Hmmmm... back to goo goo gaa gaa anyone? =)

haha. believe it or not.. just the other day i was watching this show by oprah where this lady from aussie has been researching "baby talk" and she came up with 5 sounds that babies make and what they mean. That way if the parents can make out what sound it is, they know what to do when the baby cries. Was quite interesting =) hehe.
