When can my baby hear?

Just a few weeks ago I spoke at a major Southern university on "The Healing Power of Music." This was a fairly general lecture covering the many benefits of music in a healthcare setting. Since pregnant women and babies are a priority of mine I went into som detail about the importance of singing to your unborn child from the second trimester on. There were a fair number of medical professionals in the audience and one physician told me afterwards that he was not aware that the developing fetus could hear outside sounds so clearly from the 4-5 month gestation.

Those of us that are sound healers, women who sing lullabies and anyone who loves babies makes it their business to know these things but sometimes we have to educate our doctors and that's OK. Just be sure to pass along important and accurate information! Happy singing!
