Certainly, moms, like me, all want to know what the cries of their babies mean. If a device to interpret the various cries of babies would be invented, it would sure make the lives of moms easier by responding to the needs of babies better.
Such device should take into consideration that babies have different cries and different needs. It should be portable and easy to use. Also, it should be flexible such that babies of different ages and temperament would be accommodated.
Until such a device is invented and made commercially available, moms would continue on responding to baby cries by trial and error-giving milk, checking the diaper and/or clothes, holding the baby, giving pacifier, giving water, or just bringing the baby outside as he/she might just be bored.
