Q:Are you sure I won’t be disturbing my baby when I play music or speak to her?

A:Yes. What you will be doing is stimulating your baby and helping her brain develop. However, if you play the music or speak too long or too frequently, you will disturb your baby. Please remember your baby must have time to rest as well as develop.

Q: How soon can I start talking and playing music to my baby?

A:By the end of your fifth month of pregnancy, your baby's senses are developed enough so she can hear. Continue stimulating your baby from the end of the firth month until she is born.
