Is your baby crying? An iPhone app will tell you why
Bangalore: Taking care of a baby can be difficult especially when you have no idea why the baby is crying. It seems like someone has gone through great lengths to remedy this problem by developing a handy new app for the iPhone. No longer will you have to wonder if your baby is hungry, or if you need to change the diaper. This new application has been recently released out onto the Apple App Store and allegedly translates a baby's distinct cries. According to CNET, the app promises to identify the 'five distinct cries' made by babies. The application was developed after some research was done in Spain. According to the study, there was a 96 percent success rate after the given remedy was applied to the crying baby. The application will tell if the baby needs: food, diaper change, toys, sleep, or a pacifier. Its not clear if the application actually works, but according to the study the success rate is very high. Could it be that the application actually works or that most babies are just satisfied with whatever you give them? The application can currently be bought for $9.99 on the Apple App Store, which can be downloaded for the iPhone. The application also has other features that can help parents take care of their babies, such as a place to put emergency contact information like a doctor's number.
