Parenting a stressful thing and figuring out why your baby is crying can be a bit of a challenge for most parents across the planet, especially for those dealing with their very first newborn. While one might say that decoding baby talk and their behavior needs experience, Cry Translator creators Pedro Barrera and Luis Meca would say that all it now needs is an iPhone and the new app they devised specifically for the task. It is very easy to be skeptical about software such as this, all the more so because it concerns little kids about whom we are ultra-protective and it involves a mobile phone that is supposed to be more about bling than parenting.

But all such doubts will be put to rest when you consider that six years of extensive research has been put into the project and the development of the app. Those behind the latest technology claim that 90% of the bay cries across the planet are all the same despite the social and cultural differences. For example, a stressed cry has a strong, short sound, falls slowly and then rises again, whereas a hungry cry is high-pitched and energetic. Such data coupled with the right technology means the Cry Translator could be a great aid to those who are concerned about parenting skills!
