While watching the scene in a TV show called 'Lost' last night where one character's deep voice stopped a cranky baby from crying it occurred to me that I've seen the same thing happen in real life more than once. There's something about a deep voice that soothes some babies. The idea here is just
to enhance cribs so they come with built in CD players and a collection of stories told by an assortment of deep-voiced narrators. Think Darth Vader, James Earl Jones, etc... There could also be a collection of sing-songy voices like Mary Poppins. (And if you were really mad at the kid you could play a story told by that nasal-voiced New Yorker who used to be on 'Nanny'.

In the resonating yet cooing vocals of James Earl Jones: |

Vader's gonna get you a big Death Star ..." |

Babies love my voice (deeper than Sawyer’s is). I wasn’t sure when I first talked to my kids, before they were born, whether they squirmed and kicked because they liked it, or it scared them. I’m frequently asked to hold babies because they calm down, listen intently, seem to like it, etc. My only concern is that they are reacting to my voice, not their parent’s. Such is the case with this idea. Good, bad, who knows? Just something to think about. + |

I like that idea a lot. For the super
obsessed Star Wars fans, you could
decorate the crib in black and play the
Star Wars theme song as a lullaby. |

And that was so weird that Sawyer's
voice was the only thing that could calm
the baby down since Sawyer is sort of a
bad character. Maybe his southern
accent has something to with it too. |

Caution: Playing lullabyes from Fran Drescher to your children may result in patricidal tendencies. |
