The Baby Shusher is the cheapest parenting hack that actually works

The Baby Shusher looks like a toy. It costs almost nothing. And somehow, inexplicably, it works. The Baby Shusher plays a recording of a shushing sound at a volume and rhythm that mimics the womb, and babies just stop crying. I don’t understand the science behind it, and I don’t need to — I’ve seen it work on three different babies across two families. Buy two: one for the nursery and one for the diaper bag. You’ll lose one eventually and you’ll be glad you have a backup.
