The baby's cries relate to the mother's voice

The latest issue of 'Contemporary Biology' booklet shows that German scientists have discovered the relationship between the cry of newborns and the mother's language.

Dr. Catherine Wermke and colleagues at the University of Wurzburg (Germany) conducted a study on the cries of 60 babies aged 3 to 5 days, half of whom were children of French mothers and the other half were children. of German mothers.

Researchers found that when crying babies, France started to cry with low volume then gradually rose, whereas German babies started crying high, then gradually decreased.

According to Dr. Catherine Wermke, the infant's crying form reflects the intonation characteristics of French-speaking and German-speaking people.

Dr. Wermke said that the fetus after 3 months of hearing and distinguishing the tone, the accent as well as the mother's voice and the cry of birth are the first product of the process of mimicking the voice of the mother .

This new finding also shows that babies born when crying really like to use the typical intonation they learn and hear from their mothers at the last 3 months before they are born.
