Don’t test that. Seriously. I hate you just for thinking about testing it. In fact, go off the internet and make a baby happy, now!

    Babies have basically 2 responses to being scared:

    • cry
    • freeze

    They serve a similar purpose as fight or flight, where crying would alert the parents and they moght fight, and freezing might avoid the fight, essentially flight.

    Checkout yt videos of people throwing cheese at crying babies, they are essentially confusing the baby to a point of freezeing, similar to how they might react to a bew and unfamiliar danger.

        The sleep deprivation of early parenthood does a lot to break you of social norms.
