Talk to the baby everyday
Written by jlz on December 11, 2005 – 8:48 pm -According to many researches, babies develop their hearing relatively early:
“Auditory sense is present in the infant 24 weeks before birth [14 weeks after conception]. This involves brain functioning and memory patterns.” M. Clemens, “5th International Congress Psychosomatic,” OB & GYN, Rome: Medical Tribune, Mar. 22, 1978, p. 7
Recent technology allowed a tiny microphone to be placed by the fetus’s head and “We heard almost everything, from people talking 12 feet away, to a door opening in the room, to a cart going down the hall with the door closed. The clarity was incredible. It was easy to tell who was talking.”
The results showed the fetus hears everything we do, only 10 decibels less. Their earliest response to sound was at 26 weeks. Is Noise an Intrauterine Threat, Phelan & Satt, by R. McGuire, Med. Tribune, Nov. 30, 1989
I’ve heard (not sure from where) that if you talk to the baby every day, the baby will recognize the voice of the parents after he’s born.
Not sure how true that is, but given that I started talking to the baby/fetus almost every day already, I might as well continue. It doesn’t hurt anything I don’t think.
