The effects of playing various music and songs to the baby in
the womb have been curious especially in recent years and it has been
investigated. First of all, it is a known fact that the baby in the womb (especially
after the 5th month) can hear sounds. Of course, in pregnancy, the hearing of
the baby in the womb is not as clear as the hearing of normal people and hears
the sounds more hoarse and humming. The baby hears the sounds and noises coming
from the outside of the mother's womb, the mother's heartbeat, the blood
passing through the large vessels, the voices of the people around. However,
the voice that the baby in the womb sounds the clearest is the voice of his
mother. Because the mother's voice is transmitted to the baby directly through
the bones and tissues, it does not have to reach the baby by passing through
the air outside and the mother's abdominal tissue. For this reason, it is a
known fact that the mother's and newborn baby's most used voice is the voice of
her mother, that she recognizes her mother's voice even after birth and reacts
differently to her voice. For the baby to listen to music during pregnancy, it
is not necessary to rest the headset on the mother's abdomen. The baby can also
hear sounds from the music player.
Does
listening to music during pregnancy affect the development and intelligence of
the baby?
Playing music to the baby during pregnancy does not affect
the development and intelligence of the baby. There is no research to show
this. However, music can have a calming effect on the baby in the womb, just
like normal people. Of course, this effect can be achieved with appropriate
rhythm and tempo music. The most recommended for this are slow-paced music like
classical music. Fast music is not suitable. Because the baby is most
accustomed to her mother's heartbeat rhythm in her mother's womb and may like
music close to this rhythm. Fast music outside this rhythm may sound foreign
and disturb. As with every person, there are habits in the unborn baby. For
this reason, a calming effect can occur when the baby hears the sounds and
music they are accustomed to, and most importantly, when the baby hears the
same music after birth, it recognizes, enjoys and calms down. It is observed
that after her birth, she recognized the music she heard during pregnancy, just
like her mother recognized her voice, and when they were stolen, she calmed
down and stopped crying.
Although the effect of music playing on the baby's
intelligence and body development, language learning, and motor skill is not
expected, the information will become clearer as new researches are conducted
in the coming years. However, it is certain that music, which has a calming and
relaxing effect on both normal people and pregnant women, is not expected to
have a bad effect on the baby. On the contrary, it will have a calming and
reassuring effect on the baby by remembering the same music after birth. In
addition, music helps the mother to relax and stay away from stress during
pregnancy and is beneficial in this respect. It is known that stress is a
factor that should be avoided during pregnancy.
