Your belly has ears!

Your belly has ears!
Did you know that a baby’s language skills begin to develop even before they are born, that seems mad but they say it is true. The words and sounds that they hear while inside the womb play an important role in learning language. So all of you that have be listening to hard core rave ant those of you you know who you are who sware like a docker when you think no one is listening, be aware the belly has ears.

It must be true as it is due to this sense that babies:
can understand that someone is speaking they can differentiate between familiar and unfamiliar sounds.

Aparently they can
can enjoy classic music,(which is more than many of us can) this is a because they have smooth rhythmic melodies and pauses between sections.

However in most cases this is a short lived thing, as they grow they prefer traditional tunes for kids and start differentiating sounds that are similar. Gradually your, baby start associating sounds with the experiences and give them meanings. Thus, lullabies and white noise may soothe a baby; loud sounds may startle them while pleasant music may make them happy. It is thought that a baby can recognize their mum’s voice right from the time they are born and can differentiate it from the voices of other women and get comforted by their mum sooner it sooner.


Much of a baby's first year is spent learning how to listen. Through listening, your baby learns about the world, makes sounds and learns to talk. If you are concerned that your child has a hearing problem, tell your doctor right away. A hearing problem will interfere with a baby's ability to communicate and to learn. Important language development happens in the first five years, so it's very important to treat problems early. Don't wait until your child begins school.
