Talking won't do the trick.

I should have learn by now that she's trying to say,"Mama, I've pooed. Could you please clean my butt?" when she babbles aah eeh nonstop in the wee hour of the morning. Instead of ignoring her, putting her on the breast and trying to get back to sleep, thinking that she would eventually stop and go zzzzzz, I should have wake up and do the dirty job in order for the babbling to end.

Dearie, Mama wouldn't understand your language. I'll understand BM, English, a little bit of Javanese, a little bit of Kelantanese, but not baby talk. No use talking to me. Especially at 3 in the morning.

Instead, cry.
