Hubby has an assignment for his English class. He has to "invent" something and write a report on it. Being new parents, we came up with software that will tell you what your baby needs when it cries. Lol. It doesn’t have to be realistic, it’s kind of a fun project, I think. Anyway, it will be a baby outfit that will hook up to the computer through a USB. Once the baby begins to cry you just hook up the outfit(with baby in it) to the computer and run the software…it will then run a complete diagnostics test on the baby and let you know why the baby is crying and what you need to do to make baby happy again. This is the outline we came up with…

CONCLUSION
We are having a hard time finding the statistics of misinterpretations of baby’s needs…I guess what we were going for here was to see how many parents misinterpret their childs cry from time to time, I’m really not sure. I don’t think we thought it through too well. Any suggestions for where we can find something like that? We have to show our research if we are stating facts so I need the source. We can change it too if you have any other ideas. Actually, any ideas or suggestions you have for the entire project are more than welcome. I’m actually having fun with this:) Thanks!

FYI: http://www.whycry.com/
Common misinterpretations might be:
-Feeding your baby when she cries, when she actually just wants to suck on a pacifier (or vice versa!)
-Feeding your baby when they cry because you think they’re hungry but they’re actually tired
-Reflux and colic are often confused
But I don’t know where you can find statistics on any of those things.
