Playing music and talking to a baby in the womb

It is thought that babies in the womb can hear from around 20 wks, and most can recognise their mother’s voice once they are born. Some people believe that playing music to your baby in the womb can improve its intellect and speech development not really sure about that but it is a case of what ever floats your boat.

Many dads talk to their unborn child or sing to them, if you choose to try different kinds of music to see how your baby responds. Chart pop, jazz, R'n'B, reggae, anything you enjoy. Music that soothes you may not soothe your baby. When your baby is born you may find your baby calms down to music that you played to them in the womb. With that in mind try to be as patient as possible with you pregnant partner, your baby is listening.
