Why Does Rocking Put Babies to Sleep?

Babies! We’ve all been one, and some of us have them. But did you know that baby talk serves an important purpose? Or that babies can fake tears to get attention? Today Mango and producer Gabe dig into some big science about tiny humans. Plus: What are zusers and bofels? Only a well-rested baby can answer that! Check out Candy Is Dandy: The Candy Review Podcast wherever you get your podcasts! Got a question you’d like us to answer? A rabbit hole you think we should explore?
