Babies Cry with Accent of Parents

From DBTechno.com:

It maybe possible to actually distinguish which country a baby is from simply from hearing him or her cry.
Results of a new study suggest that after only 3 days of birth, a baby’s cry begins to take on the accent of its parents.
For the study, researchers compared the cries of newborn French and German babies, to try to determine if they could distinguish any indication of language of the parents of each child.
In total, 60 babies were analyzed for the study, with the researchers analyzing their crying patterns, pitch and other relevant factors.
All the babies were born healthy and born after full term.
Babies born into French families had a cry which included a rising melody contour, with German babies crying in a way speech and language experts refer to as a falling melody contour.
A rising melody contour means that the cry went from low to high, and a falling melody contour means the opposite.
This study proves that infants are very receptive, even at a very early age when it comes to adapting to their environment.
