PLAYING MUSIC TO YOUR NEWBORN BABY
The stimulation of your baby can continue after birth to help enhance development. Our postnatal CD contains special selections of music from a variety of classical composers. They are longer in duration than the prenatal CD because as your baby gets older she will be able to focus for longer periods of time.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR TALKING, SINGING, & READING TO YOUR UNBORN BABY
(See Fig. 13)
1.Connect the cable from the Fetal Speakers to the Fetal Microphone. The Fetal Microphone requires one AAA battery (not included).
2.Position the Fetal Speakers against your belly. You will want to adjust the position of the speakers depending on what month of pregnancy you are in. You should be able to tell where your baby's head is by where you feel her kicking most frequently. You may tuck the speakers into your clothing or use the Maternity Belt to hold them in place.
3.Be careful to speak in a normal voice. The microphone will amplify your voice so you don't have to speak too loudly as this may disturb your baby. You may also want to gently stroke your stomach while you are speaking.
4.Alternate your voice with the baby's father's voice – five minutes of yours and the five minutes of his. Speak in loving tones and repeat what you say 3 to 4 times. Repeat this a few times each day. Also read your baby a story. Choose one that you will read after she is born.
