All newborn babies make 5 reflex sounds:

Neh: “I’m hungry” — This sound is made when the sucking reflex is triggered and the baby pushes their tongue up to the roof of the mouth.
Owh: “I’m sleepy” — Babies do this when they are tired. The sound is similar to a yawn.
Heh: “I’m uncomfortable” — This sound is a response to a skin reflex. Usually, the baby is too hot or too cold, or has a wet or dirty diaper.
Eairh: “I have lower gas” — This sound is associated with gas and lower abdominal pain. When babies do this, you should place them on their stomach and rub their back. You can also gently massage their tummy.
Eh: “I need to be burped” — When a big quantity of trapped air is caught in their chest, babies reproduce this sound. Burp them to help relieve this.

Note: This technique was created by Priscilla Dunstan. She is not a speech therapist or a scientific expert on babies. This is based on the skills she gained as a singer and vocalist that helped her carry out a research on babies around the world for 8 years. This language is still being researched but has shown a good accuracy rate already.
