Baby in the Womb Playing with His Dad.( with me, hehehe) This is a beautiful moment and very happy that I want to share with you, in a few days my first daughter will be born ... for several months to talk and touch the belly of my wife responds with movements and taps ... It is very difficult to describe what it feels like .... Will my baby-to-be recognize my voice? As your baby grows, more sounds will become audible to them. Around week 25 or 26, babies in the womb have been shown to respond to voices and noise. Recordings taken in the uterus reveal that noises from outside of the womb are muted by about half. That’s because there’s no open air in the uterus. Your baby is surrounded by amniotic fluid and wrapped in the layers of your body. That means all noises from outside your body will be muffled. The most significant sound your baby hears in the womb is your voice. In the third trimester, your baby can already recognize it. They will respond with an increased heart rate that suggests they are more alert when you’re speaking. Should I play music for my developing baby? As for classical music, there’s no evidence that it will improve a baby’s IQ. But there’s no harm in playing music for your baby. In fact, you can continue with the normal sounds of your daily life as your pregnancy progresses. While prolonged noise exposure may be linked to fetal hearing loss, its effects aren’t well-known. If you spend a lot of your time in an especially noisy environment, consider making changes during pregnancy to be safe. But the occasional noisy event shouldn’t pose a problem. Hearing in early infancy About 1 to 3 of every 1,000 babies will be born with hearing loss. Causes of hearing loss can include: premature delivery time in the neonatal intensive care unit high bilirubin that requires a transfusion certain medications family history frequent ear infections meningitis exposure to very loud sounds Most children born with a hearing loss will be diagnosed through a screening test. Others will develop hearing loss later in childhood. According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, you should learn what to expect as your baby grows. Understanding what is considered normal will help you determine if and when you should consult a doctor. Use the checklist below as a guide. From birth to around 3 months, your baby should: react to loud noise, including while breastfeeding or bottle-feeding calm down or smile when you speak to them recognize your voice coo have different types of crying to signal different needs From 4 to 6 months, your baby should: track you with their eyes respond to changes in your tone notice toys that make noise notice music make babbling and gurgling sounds laugh From 7 months to 1 year, your baby should: play games like peek-a-boo and pat-a-cake turn in the direction of sounds listen when you’re speaking to them understand a few words (“water,” “mama,” “shoes”) babble with noticeable groups of sounds babble to get attention communicate by waving or holding up their arms The takeaway Babies learn and develop at their own pace. But if you’re concerned that your baby isn’t meeting the milestones listed above in an appropriate time frame, consult with your doctor.
