cry_translator_i_phone_appNow an iPhone app claims to identify your baby’s crying, launched in the U.S. on Wednesday.

Five distinct states are identified and the use is simple. To begin translation, you hold the iPhone near the baby when he/she cries and touch the “Start” button.

In less than ten seconds a response will be given; hungry, sleepy, annoyed, stressed or bored.

The app, named the, “Cry Translator”, is the result of six years of research by a team in Spain.

Lori McKnight the companies spokeswoman said: “There are five distinct cries that have common frequency patterns, regardless of culture or language,”

“A mother learns these over time, but this can help speed up the learning curve, and also help dads and caregivers.”

The website claims; “These five cries are universal to all babies regardless of culture or language.”

Dr. Antonio Portugal Ramírez a specialist Pediatrician from Spain said: “Babies communicate their mood and needs through crying. If a baby is hungry, sleepy, in discomfort, bored or stressed (i.e. this makes up 95% of the reasons why a baby will cry), he/she will express it by crying.”

The application costs $9.99 and is available online. But do you need an iPhone app to tell you how to respond to your own child? Please Comment below.
