BABY UPDATE 6: Lullabyes

Posted by Rhecel on Oct 12, 2009 in Family | 0 comments

I started playing music for our baby last week, when I was 4 months and a week. Recent online articles say that it has not been proven yet if music has any effect to fetal development, and if the type of music played to the mother’s belly would matter in any way (many believe that classical music by Mozart would make babies smarter), but music makes the mother feel relaxed, which is definitely good for the baby. Playing music for the unborn child is recommended, as long as you do it moderately.

I play music around 10 minutes a day, through speakers that I place beside my belly (not headphones). I keep the volume to a minimum because I read somewhere that amniotic fluid in the uterus is a good conductor of sound, and I don’t want the music to make my baby uncomfortable.

Here’s what my baby’s been listening to since last week. I’ll stick to these 2 for now. I wonder if he/she’ll recognize these when he/she’s out…
