Playing music to babies contained by the womb...?
Did anyone play music to their babies while they were pregnant? And did the same music have any effect of them after they be born?
Did they recognise it? Did it soothe them etc?
I work somewhere where there is music on constantly and we have music on greatly at home too.
I'm really interested in this subject and just wondered if there are benefits to playing music to my newborn :)
Thanks all.
Studies have shown that it does work. Apparently one baby be soothed by the Neighbours theme song because its Mum watched the show every day! Classical music is intended to make your baby smarter (because of its mathematical complexity I think). There are heaps of child cds available on the net; even classical versions of AC/DC and Metallica etc.
my daughter used to kick to particular songs when i be pregnant and after she was born shed stop whatever she was doing if she hear the song, shes grown out of it a bit now shes 6 1/2 months but if she recognises a song shell stop and turn to look where its coming from. music does have a positive effect on babies its accurate for them play as much as you like!
no nearby was no effect to the baby when it was born but don't play the music to loud
I sang to my son while he be still in the womb. After he was born, I sang alike songs to him. Sometimes it soothed him, sometimes not. It depended on what was bugging him.
Even now at age 5 he'll sometimes perk up a bit if I sing one of those songs and ask me what it is.
I've seen information that suggested classical music help with fetal brain development. Not sure how much I buy into that, but it's interesting.
Answers: There have been extensive studies in the region of this, including one where you play the same music to them each dark as you're going to sleep yourself when pregnant, and then you play it again when they're born and they go to sleep automatically. This worked pretty well for my sister's toddler and I'm hoping for it myself too!
The auditory sense is the first one to be fully developed In Utero; at 4 months gestation the baby can hear you talking, and by 5 months they can hear music and other people chitchat. This is easily proven by the fact that they will respond differently to your voice (or even someone with your diction or dialect) on the first day they're born.
In terms of music, volume is not a problem in the womb, and even when they're out, they enjoy high tolerance of white noise and vacuum cleaners etc because it mimics the sounds of your tummy as experienced from the inside. So if you have music on at work (like I do adjectives the time) you could consider a small radio in the baby's room, so that you maintain the continuity once its born. A newborn's ears are fully developed and can withstand the same volume as an fully fledged (90dB) which is normally a CD played at any volume where you don't own to shout over it to be heard.
I bought Triniti's album when I was pregnant with my daughter. I listen to it a lot, and when my daughter was born (if she was crying) I would other sing one of the tracks to her quietly, and it would always stop the crying.
Well it's hard to enunciate.
My parents used to listen to a lot of '60s era rock when I was little (and I was born surrounded by 1986!), and so i've really developed a strong liking for music of that era.
(My parents are totally stuck in the '60s... even in the '90s our house be perpetually 1965, complete with a black and white RCA Victor stereo/television console, and vintage furnature. It's pretty cool.)
we didnt exactly play it to him,but we had rock music playing in the car when we be in it.now at 10 my lad loves rock music.old college and new stuff.may have something to do with it
I played music to my babies in the womb, and they recognised the music when they hear it outside the womb. I swear, they'd recognise Katherine Jenkins and Michael Bolton anywhere..
