Music and Pregnancy: Benefits for mother and baby

• Singing lullabies to your baby is one of the most natural things a mother does. However, sometimes, people tend to underestimate the power of simple things. In this case, the research is there: singing to your baby, both before and after birth, creates a bond that is the foundation of healthy relationships. Many new mothers are unsure about their mothering skills. With this CD, the mother can familiarize herself with many of the well-known, classic lullabies, sung by generations of mothers and grandmothers (and fathers, brothers, aunts and others!) and then sing them herself to her new baby. The CD can also be played for baby at other times just by itself. The research documents that lullabies:
• Create a sonic bond of love and caring, even before birth
• Ensure that baby comes into world knowing mother's voice and associating that with being loved and cared for
• With preemies, this is even more critical. Amazingly, when Mom sings to baby the effect is:
• Stabilized blood pressure
• Stabilized body temperature
• Stabilized pulse and heart rate
  Resulting in:
• Less time in NICU
• Faster weight gain
• Healthier baby at discharge from NICU
  
  After childbirth, these same lullabies will provide comfort and oftentimes instantaneous quieting of fussy and fretting babies. What could be easier? Go HERE to buy my CD of famous and famliar lullabies which you can learn just by listening to these simple melodies for a few minutes each evening.
