For many new parents, the challenge of knowing what to do when your baby is crying can be nerve wracking. What do all of those wails mean? Is he hungry? Thirsty? Bored? Is it just gas? No longer do parents have to rely on millions of years of genetic instincts when it comes to raising their children. There is now a device created specifically to decode those baby screams so that even the most clueless parent knows when to feed and when to change. Because mixing up those two activities can really irritate your baby.

The WhyCry Baby Cry Analyzer, the creation of Spanish electronics engineer Pedro Monagas, was developed after three years of studying over 100 infants for distinctions in their cries. Monagas found that by analyzing differences in pitch, frequency of crying spells and changes in volume, he was able to determine that they fell into one of five distinct mood categories: hungry, bored, annoyed, sleepy or stressed. I have to give the guy credit. Three years and a hundred crying babies? I can’t even make it through a 45-minute flight with one screaming infant.

Does the thing work? I haven’t the faintest idea. The claim is that after 20 seconds, it will analyze the crying sounds and display one of five graphics depicting the appropriate mood of your baby. It’s a baby mood box. I can also imagine that there are more than a few guys out there wondering if this would work on their woman. It’s about the size of a small alarm clock and it even has a digital display of the temperature and humidity in your baby’s room. I’m pretty sure those last two features are there to prevent hot-moist baby syndrome. The WhyCry sells for about $100 at www.thinkgeek.com and www.whycry.com is there to help you understand why you need one.
