New mothers! This new app tells you why your baby is crying

Don't worry if you can't figure out why your baby is crying. This new app will help you out.

Not being able to understand why the baby is crying can be one frustrating task for all mothers. Some even tend to doubt their parenting skills. For all you new mothers who can't always make a sense of baby's tears, help is at hand. A team of researchers has developed a smartphone app that can decode what the baby's crying for. The Infant Cries Translator app developed at the National Taiwan University Hospital Yunlin can distinguish between four separate crying sounds by recording the sounds of babies and comparing them to a large database. Here are 9 reasons why your baby could be crying.

To develop the app, the researchers collected 200,000 crying sounds from 100 infants. When the baby cries, the user needs to push the recording button for 10 seconds, and the sounds will be uploaded to the Cloud Drive. After the differentiating process, the app analyses the sound in just 15 seconds and sends the results to the user's mobile phone. Try these 8 ways to ensure that your child sleeps properly.

The Infant Cries Translator can differentiate four different statuses of sounds of baby crying, including hunger, the diaper getting wet, sleepy and pain, one of the head researchers, Chang Chuan-yu, was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail. So far, according to the feedback from users, the accuracy of the app we have tested can reach 92 percent of babies under two weeks old, Chuan-yu said. Though the app does become less accurate as the baby gets older, the researchers believe that it is ideal for infants below the age of six months. The app is available for download at the APP Store and Google Play. This is how you soothe a crying baby.
