“for parents and infants from birth
to wit’s end.”

CRYING
The joys of parenthood are subject to frequent interruption: babies cry... and sometimes for no apparent reason.

We changed them, fed them, cuddled them, rocked them, sang to them, played tapes for them... and when the crying drowned out the lullabies, we remembered a tip from a friend and turned to the household appliances. And discovered that the most unlikely sounds created the most heavenly silence.


COPING
The effectiveness of white and rhythmic noise in soothing fussy babies has been well documented by the experts and noted in virtually all of the childcare books. So, after consulting the literature and talking to other moms, we created this compilation of unlikely sounds to calm your baby. Until the mystery of why babies cry is solved, we are confident that for crying out loud! will provide relief for parents and infants from birth to wit’s end.


CREATING
for crying out loud! was created in 1996 by Perpetual Cow Productions, a partnership of two professional-women-turned-moms. Martha Stone and Pam Johann had just discovered the sounds that calmed their own babies. While on maternity leave and with infants in tow, they turned an off-the-wall idea into a best seller among the 0-18 month set. Nearly 30,000 copies of for crying out loud! have been sold through retail outlets, baby stores, catalogues and hospitals across the country.
