playing music to 'the bump'

[chezross]

Im just wondering if playing music to your bump benefits or relaxes baby at all? Ive heard playing classical music has a calming effect on the baby....we've started playing music to our bump, some classical but others our some nursery ryhmes and songs we enjoy...has anybody ever experienced or heard of stories of the benefits? Id love to know :)

I never specifically played music to my bump but i can tell you that certain songs that I listened to frequently during my pregnancy would calm my kids after they were born.  With DS2 It happened to be 2 five for fighting songs.  Whenever he got really cranky I would play them on my phone or on youtube and he would just get quiet and listen.

I heard that if you repeat one song again and again and every day. Your baby will familiar with the song after he/she is born. And when he/she is crying/can not fall asleep , you can play the same music. Then he/she will easy to calm down and feel comfortable and easy to fall asleep.

I always played rock and metal to my baby, mostly Tool and Disturbed. She loves to listen to that stuff now and wiggles and smiles whenever it's on.

Lol I don't know about classical music, but my dd would go crazy and kick when lady gaga was on. Now she dances whenever she hears that song. I played classical music very early on after she was born it seemed to help with naps.
