Can newborns listen to music?

Many people say that when the baby is still in the mother's belly, letting the mother listen to some prenatal education music appropriately can not only calm the emotions of the baby and the mother, but also cultivate the baby's musical talent. Not only that, many parents will let their babies listen to a lot of music when they are just born, so that their babies can cultivate their musical sentiments. But is it okay for a newborn to listen to music?

How long should newborns listen to music?

Generally speaking, newborns should not listen to music for more than half an hour, and they should not be allowed to listen to many songs at once. Cultivating your baby's musical cells should be done regularly, preferably one song per month. Moreover, newborns should listen to music at a fixed time every day, otherwise the uninterrupted stimulation will lose its meaning. Letting babies enjoy music from time to time can not only calm their emotions, but also cultivate their temperament.

In addition, excessive exposure of newborns to music can lead to slow reactions and poor language learning ability. Because the part of the baby responsible for music is overactive, the development of the language area will be affected. This will have a huge impact on the baby's future. If interpersonal communication is not smooth, it will generate a lot of negative emotions, and over time, the baby's personality will become weird.

Listening to music cannot replace the voice of adults. Mothers should talk to their babies frequently. Although they cannot speak, they can hear. In addition, the music played for hypnosis should be fixed, so that a conditioned reflex can be formed, and the baby will feel sleepy when hearing the music.

What are the benefits of listening to music for newborns?

1. Cultivate the baby's stable and happy mood, which helps the newborn sleep. When babies put on headphones, most of them will fall asleep or stay quiet and lie down obediently. Because music can stimulate the newborn's nervous transmission system and reduce the baby's stress in adapting to the new environment. If you play a few lullabies before your baby goes to sleep, or play some light and soft music when he cries, it will help calm your baby.

2. Conduct auditory training. Studies have shown that if you ring a bell in the ear of a newborn baby who is 24 hours old, the baby will stop crying and open his eyes immediately; newborn babies who are one week old can recognize their mother's voice. For newborns, hearing is a greater stimulus than vision. They can hear sounds and respond from birth. Don’t think that newborns will sometimes be “frightened” by loud noises, so don’t make any noise in the house. This will reduce auditory stimulation and affect the development and function of the newborn’s auditory cells.

When choosing music for your children, choose songs with a medium or slightly slower tempo and shorter pieces. Also pay attention to the playback volume to be moderate or slightly weak. Listening to music at a high volume for a long time can cause auditory fatigue or even hearing damage to children. Parents must not be careless and should not lead to serious consequences just because they think it is good for their children.
