Dr. Harvey Karp, a pediatrician, creator of The Happiest Baby method, believes he has found the answer to all those sleepless nights while taking care of an infant.

A group of engineers from MIT worked closely with Karp to develop the Snoo, the first crib of its kind. The smart crib gently rocks from side to side in such a manner that the baby feels like she is still inside the mother's womb.

Microphones are embedded in the smart crib to capture the sound of the baby's cries. It software will then determine the kind of cry and respond by playing a special sound, particularly a white noise, that will help the baby relax and go back to sleep.

According to a report, the Snoo is equipped with a swaddling blanket. This will prevent the baby from rolling over and ending up in hazardous positions.

The Washington Post wrote in an article that the Snoo should only be used during an infant's first six months of life. Once they are old and big enough to crawl, there will be the risk of the baby climbing out of the bassinet.

Most parents think that babies are better off lying on a flatbed in a quiet room by themselves. Karp believes that is the worst way of putting a baby to sleep. This is how he came up with the concept of the Snoo.

This tech-savvy baby crib calms a crying baby back to sleep in just minutes. It does away with the practice of picking up a baby and rocking her back to sleep.

The Snoo smart bassinet is worth $1,150 but many believe that the rest the parents can get with the help of the special crib makes it worth every penny.

Karp is the author of "The Happiest Baby on the Block", one of several parenting guides he has written. His wife, Nina Montée Karp, is a co-founder of his smart-tech company called Happiest Baby.
