...what?
- Clewza313 6y agoExisting research said there was no correlation. Her research says there is a correlation. Gotta say common sense is on Kuroda's side here, it's super common for babies to cry in strollers and then quiet down the moment they're picked up and held/plopped into a baby carrier.

- svat 6y agoThis is an example of how you can change the meaning completely by dropping the right words. The part that you quoted as “Kuroda [...] didn’t find any correlation” is actually “Kuroda […] saw that previous research […] didn’t find any correlation” (and that's what she couldn't agree with), specifically: > Kuroda began looking into the physiological effects of carrying infants when she saw that previous research, which used parental diaries rather than real-time physiological measurements, didn’t find any correlation between the amount of time babies were carried and the amount they cried. "I couldn’t agree with that," she says. Her research found that carrying a baby reduced their heart rate and movement as well as how much they cried. and so on.
