Baby Shushing Apps

The Baby Shusher Creates Soothing White Noise to Calm Babies

— May 19, 2015 — Tech
Baby Shusher is a pretty self-explanatory app that can be used by doting dads to soothe and quiet babies.

To use the app, all you have to do is press the start button. This causes a soothing and calming 'shushing' noise -- essentially white noise -- to emanate from your phone's speakers.

In an increasingly progressive world where the old paradigm of the working husband and stay-at-home mom is less relevant, many dads may find themselves in roles associated with traditional motherhood. While dads may not be able to match their wives' soothing, feminine and motherly voices, they can use modern technology in the form of apps like Baby Shusher to ensure that their time with the babies is a restful one -- for both dad and baby alike.
Trend Themes
1. Baby Soothing Apps - Apps that help soothe babies through white noise are gaining popularity among working fathers.
2. Gender-neutral Parenting Tools - Tools like Baby Shusher challenge traditional gender roles and provide support for fathers in their parenting roles.
3. Tech-assisted Parenting - The integration of technology into parenting tools and techniques enables fathers to effectively care for their babies.
Industry Implications
1. Parenting and Family Apps - Companies can develop and market apps, like Baby Shusher, that cater to the needs of modern parents and their babies.
2. Consumer Technology - The development of new and innovative technologies can support the integration of modern parenting tools, like Baby Shusher, into daily family routines.
3. Gender-neutral Marketing - Increasingly, brands are marketing parenting tools towards working fathers, creating opportunities for companies to develop and market gender-neutral parenting tools to meet this demand.
