SECTION II. Talking and playing music to your baby

INTRODUCTION

Research Into the benefits of stimulating your unborn baby has been done
worldwide and it is now believed that your baby can learn while still in your
womb. Therefore, while most of the attention in the past has focused on the
positive results of infant stimulation, it is very important not to overlook
the benefits of prenatal stimulation.
Studies have shown that the prenatally stimulated baby tends to display
faster visual, linguistic, and motor development than the baby who was not
stimulated. Research has also shown that the brain of the prenatally stimulated
baby tends to be more developed, thereby providing a better foundation for
the child to have a higher IQ and intelligence level.
Prenatal stimulation can come from playing classical music (considered to
be one of the best sources of stimulation), talking or singing to your baby,
"
and even rubbing your stomach. The most effective way to stimulate your
baby and enhance her brain development while still in the womb is through

It is also believed that your newborn baby will recognize the voices of her
parents immediately after birth if they are heard while in the womb. In
addition to stimulating your baby, talking to her will help your baby's father
bond with her. Talk and sing to your unborn baby by using the
®
BébéSounds Fetal Speakers and Microphone, which will amplify your
voices so they will be heard over the other noises inside the womb.
When speaking to your baby, keep in mind that the first step of your baby's
development of language skills is the recognition of intonations so it is
important for both parents to speak to their child. Although the mother's
voice tends to be more melodic and is constantly heard, the father's voice
is louder and deeper and penetrates the womb more easily.
It is always a good idea to keep your doctor informed of what you are doing
during your pregnancy. Therefore, we suggest that you inform your doctor
that you will be stimulating your unborn baby with the BébéSounds
Gift Set.
HOW YOUR UNBORN BABY DEVELOPS
First Trimester – The embryo begins to develop; head and limbs start to
form; the head, body, and limbs begin to move (you won't feel this movement
yet); the nervous system that deals with equilibrium and spatial relations
begins to develop; and the heart begins to beat more strongly.
Second Trimester – The head develops more actively than the rest of the
body; the eyes respond to light; key organs mature; the fetus reacts to music
and loud noises; arms and legs are moving strongly enough so you can feel
them; the fetus can hear and the ability to learn significantly increases; signs
of memory and the ability to respond to various stimuli are apparent; and
music has a calming effect while harsh sounds have an agitating effect.
