is crying can be nerve wracking. What do all of those wails mean? Is he
hungry? Thirsty? Bored? Is it just gas? No longer do parents have to
rely on millions of years of genetic instincts when it comes to raising
their children. There is now a device created specifically to decode
those baby screams so that even the most clueless parent knows when to
feed and when to change. Because mixing up those two activities can
really irritate your baby.
The WhyCry Baby Cry Analyzer, the creation of Spanish electronics
engineer Pedro Monagas, was developed after three years of studying over
100 infants for distinctions in their cries. Monagas found that by
analyzing differences in pitch, frequency of crying spells and changes
in volume, he was able to determine that they fell into one of five
distinct mood categories: hungry, bored, annoyed, sleepy or stressed. I
have to give the guy credit. Three years and a hundred crying babies? I
can't even make it through a 45-minute flight with one screaming infant.
Does the thing work? I haven't the faintest idea. The claim is that
after 20 seconds, it will analyze the crying sounds and display one of
five graphics depicting the appropriate mood of your baby. It's a baby
mood box. I can also imagine that there are more than a few guys out
there wondering if this would work on their woman. It's about the size
of a small alarm clock and it even has a digital display of the
temperature and humidity in your baby's room. I'm pretty sure those last
two features are there to prevent hot-moist baby syndrome. The WhyCry
sells for about $100 at www.thinkgeek.com and www.whycry.com is there to
help you understand why you need one.
