Can Babies Remember Music Heard in the Womb?

With all the talk today about playing music for your baby during pregnancy, a logical follow-up question that I hear all the time is: can the baby remember the music heard in the womb? The good news is "yes!". Researchers in London have put tiny cameras in the womb and measured the amount of time that the baby turns her head toward the music. With each subsequent playing of the same song, the baby "pays attention" a little longer and after birth, the baby responds by quieting down when fussy and also showing signs of recognition.
