So getting ready to have a baby. It must be a most exciting and joyous experience that will forever change your life for the better, people like me can't imagine without experiencing it. The purpose of this blog is to raise a question - "what you do prior to the birth that can have significant implications on the baby’s life?
Cognitive development is not only possible, but it is crucial as a fetus. So what can you do to enhance their overall brain development?
While some may view talking to the baby prior to the birth as foolish, it can have outstanding affects on the baby. The question many have is when can the fetus begin to hear sounds and how should the mother and father talk to the incoming baby.
Fetuses actually hear sounds quite similar to the way we hear a next-door stereo. The key thing to remember is that they are capable of hearing voices that are filtered through tissues, bones and fluid. By this they can recognize mother’s voice and be calmed by it.
Fetuses and even new born babies will not be able to distinguish one word from another, it is still important to talk to them so they know who the mother and father are,it is even more important for cognitive development. Fetus will understand rather than words is the rhythm and melody of voices they hear. This will serve as the overall foundation for language.
It is two-fold as reading will help them establish an auditory bond at an early age with the parents while developing the brain before they are even out of the womb.
Everyone from doctors to scientists, and psychologist to Oprah encourage listening to a variety of music during and after pregnancy as well. What this will do is help stimulate the baby’s senses while improving their cognitive development and cognition. By exposing them to different sounds and scenes, this will help them establish connections from one set of neurons to another.
