- pavel_lishin 10y agoHaving a young child will bring out the superstitious idiot in you. Last night the baby went to sleep because I walked counter-clockwise while singing lullabies? That's it, that's the only direction I can walk in from here on out while putting her to bed. The kid ate her veggies with no complaint because I was humming The Simpsons theme? It's now the official meal-time song.
- gknoy 10y agoThese seem profoundly irrational, but one thing I've noticed is that young kids are profoundly irrational beings. You will feel like a vulcan by comparison. My kid flips out if I put the blankets on her in the wrong layering order .... but "wrong" is different every night.
- pavel_lishin 10y agoMine's 9 months old; she doesn't care what I hum or how I turn. My examples are 100% me being irrational. When she gets older and starts having well-developed preferences, then I will no longer be crazy - only my behavior will be, because I'll be in thrall to a tiny crazy person.
- sidlls 10y agoYes, this. Babies communicate by crying and cooing. It's difficult to tell what's causing them to cry absent something obvious (like an injury). I could easily picture a parent trying anything and thinking it works purely out of coincidence.
- NetStrikeForce 10y agoActually after some time you get to differentiate different cries. I now can identify if my kiddo wants to sleep, is hungry or wants his mum. Talking to nurses working with babies apparently this is a thing and they get to understand babies quite well when they cry.
