    No, they just cry louder.

    And actually, that’s pretty much how it works until they move out.

    Idk about young babies but when I worked at a restaurant I had a colleague who would approach toddlers that were having tantrums and cry back mockingly and most of the time they’d stop and stare at him like wtf dude. He was a huge and goofy looking guy though so I’m sure it had something to do with that too.

    I find babies are fine with adults crying near them as long as the adult is not showing contempt ( fake crying to mess with the baby) or panic ( babies pick up on that)

    You might get a momentary pause of confusion, but the baby will know you’re faking and may start angry crying

      What if its like Meryl Streep or something? Makes the baby believe she is crying on thr same level?

    Sometimes they quiet down out of confusion but I once got hit with a “DADDY, QUIET!!” between screams out of my kid when she got a bit older and wised up to the act
