Q: Are you sure I won't be disturbing my baby when I play music or
speak to her?
A: Yes. What you will be doing is stimulating your baby and helping her
brain develop. However, if you play the music or speak too long or too
frequently, you will disturb your baby. Please remember your baby must
have time to rest as well as develop.
Q: How soon can I start talking and playing music to my baby?
A: By the end of your fi fth month of pregnancy, your baby's senses are
developed enough so she can hear. Continue stimulating your baby from
the end of the fi rth month until she is born.
