Dummy lullaby

11 October 1997

A baby’s dummy that sings an infant to sleep has been developed by Douglas
McTavish, an engineer working in Norway. McTavish fitted his daughter’s dummy
with touch and sound sensors along with a chip from a singing birthday card. If
an infant wakes during the night, the sound of crying will switch on the music
and help it find its comforter.
