I take Jack to a daycare here in LA that I LOVE! The lady who runs it helps me test out gadgets on all
the different age groups in her care. She recently asked me for a gadget to help her with a VERY fussy baby that cries all day long. I offered her The Why Cry Analyzer gadget and she laughed. She thought the concept alone was hilarious. It’s a device that has five expressive baby faces on it and a “cry analyzer” inside that’s activated by a child’s cry. The analyzer then lights up the descriptive face based on why the child is crying, which lets you know if the child is hungry, bored, fussy, needs new diapers, etc.
After testing it she was still laughing, although she did say that her husband liked it. She asked to try out another gadget and this next round of research lead me to a winner! TheSweetPeace Newborn Soothing Center by Graco ended up doing the trick. Basically it’s a swing, but the thing that’s unique about it is that it swings from side to side, not back and forth! Not only that, but the chair is a super cushion of comfort that allows the baby to fall into deep relaxation with the help of hanging toys and a shade helps the baby fall asleep. Want more? The music on this thing is really good! It’s not just mini-tunes of kid’s songs; it’s actually stereo-tunes of popular classical music that can be played to help relax the mood of an entire room of hyper kids. Try it out!
