How Music Affects the Baby in the Womb

The baby's hearing begins to develop in the womb around the 18th week of pregnancy. By the time the baby is born, they will have been exposed to a wide range of sounds, including the mother's heartbeat, her voice, and the sounds of the outside world. Studies have shown that music can have a positive effect on the baby's development, including:

• Reducing stress levels
• Improving sleep
• Promoting bonding between the mother and child
• Helping the baby to learn and develop
