Dr. Norman A. Ravski, Assistant Clinical Professor, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Yale University School of Medicine, and Attending Physician at Yale New Haven Hospital, has endorsed playing classical music to your baby. In his endorsement, Dr. Ravski states,
It is also believed that your newborn baby will recognize the voices of her parents immediately after birth if they are heard while in the womb. In addition to stimulating your baby, talking to her will help your baby's father bond with her. Talk and sing to your unborn baby using the BébéSounds® Fetal Speakers and Microphone, which will amplify your voices so they will be heard over the other noises inside the womb.
When speaking to your baby, keep in mind that the first step in your baby's development of language skills is the recognition of intonations so it is important for both parents to speak to their child. Although the mother's voice tends to be more melodic and is constantly heard, the father's voice is louder and deeper and penetrates the womb more easily.
It is always a good idea to keep your doctor informed of what you
are doing during your pregnancy. Therefore, we encourage you to inform your doctor that you will be stimulating your unborn baby with the BébéSounds® Prenatal Gift Set.
