I was reading one of the blogs I always glance at, Lifehacker, and came across a neat trick to stop your baby from crying. It came from an excerpt of a book by Lisa Katayama called Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan. With no baby yet to test the trick, I cannot account for its veracity, but it sounded pretty neat! Let me know feed back. . .
1. How to make a baby stop crying
Dilemma: Sure, the baby’s cute. But why won’t he stop crying?
Solution: The secret to stop a crying baby lies in making the sound you produce during the mouthfeel stage of wine tasting.
Why this works: When babies are still in the womb, the noises they can hear are limited to those in the 6000-8000mHz range. The sound you make when you slosh the liquid behind your lips during wine tasting takes place at about 7000mHz, reminding the baby of a time when the world around was peaceful and the whirs and stirs inside Mommy’s tummy soothed him back to a sleepy state.
