Hush - Baby Cry Guide

Hush helps you notice what your baby is doing when they cry - and gives you something specific to try next. Record six seconds. Hush looks at the cry (its pitch, loudness, rhythm and how it builds) alongside what your baby's face and body are doing: rooting, arching, knees drawing to the tummy, gaze turning away, hands to the mouth, heavy eyelids. It then shows you what parents and researchers commonly associate with that combination, how sure it is, and what to try. WHAT EVERY READING SHOWS YOU - The most likely reason, with a confidence figure - a starting point, never a verdict - What else it could be - What Hush heard in the cry - The specific body cues it spotted - Four things to try, written to be done one-handed in the dark HUSH CHAT A calm, well-read companion for the 3am questions - the ones you would never ring anyone about. It already knows your baby's age and recent readings, so you are not starting from scratch every time. TRENDS Patterns emerge over days and weeks: when the hard stretches land, what tends to come before them, and what usually helps. HONEST ABOUT WHAT THIS IS Hush is for general information and entertainment. It is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, screen for or rule out any condition, and it is not a substitute for advice from your pediatrician. No app can know what a baby is thinking - Hush reports what is commonly associated with what it observed, and says how confident it is. WHERE THE INFORMATION COMES FROM Open "What Hush is built on" inside the app. Every source is named with a reference you can look up - ChatterBaby (PMC7033040), the Neonatal Facial Coding System, NCAST engagement cues, PURPLE crying and more - along with what each one does NOT show, and the confidence limits Hush enforces on itself. Where the evidence is thin, we say so; the popular "five sounds" idea is listed as something Hush deliberately does not rely on. Hush is independent and not affiliated with any hospital, university or researcher. PRIVACY Your recording is used to produce the reading and is not stored.
