Does this work to quiet crying babies???

Question

I saw this on Japanese news channel. Put water in your mouth and inhale. Almost to make it sound like a bong(sorry, but it does sound like it). They showed babies crying and then they put the water in their mouth and do it, the baby stops crying right away and just looks at where the noise is coming from. Now I have never tried this with my kids, cause when they cry I forget about this, and when I finally get them to stop, I'm like WTF, I should of grabbed a glass of water......

Answer 1

no but thats really interesting !!!

Answer 2

Or you could just stand next to a running faucet. that always worked with my daughter. any kind of white noise snapped her out of a crying fit.  

Answer 3

Sometime any white noise helps with the crying. Also making a  "shushing" sound  right in their  ears kind of sounds like the womb and can calm down a newborn. But, I've never heard of this other technique!  

Answer 4

I just tried on my daughter, but she wasn't crying. She just gave me the "you're an idiot" look. And it does sound like a bong.

Answer 5

depends, some times it doesnt work on some babies...

you can also make them stop crying by putting the shirt of their moms with their smell on it, (mom wears it, but does not have it washed yet) and put the shirt by them when you try to sleep. they think that the mommy is by them because of the smell

Answer 6

I just did it to my grizzling daughter and she laughed at me LOL... I think anything that will distract them would work
