Music For Babies: The Soundtrack To Your Child's Development

You may have seen videos and CDs for babies. There are several theories that classical music can make your baby smarter, and exposing them to music is part of what we do. We will introduce your baby to all the sounds and sights of their world.

Music can certainly help calm your baby and put him in a relaxed state at bedtime or nap time. What are some good options for a baby?

Almost anything you enjoy or use to relax is good for your baby. There are good collections of Mozart or Bach for bedtime. Enya's music can also be very soothing. Georgia Kelly's harp music is also very relaxing and peaceful.

When the baby is awake, many children's songs or children's soundtracks can stimulate the baby's senses. We've seen kids react to Phillip Glass’s minimalist music; it's simple and rhythmic, and when they grow up they will dance to it. Spiritual songs and soothing gospel music are also good options to help ease your baby to sleep.

White noise, in the form of a fan (not directly at the baby) or a sound machine that simulates the sound of the ocean or rain, can also calm and block noise in the home. However, it is not necessary to create an artificially quiet environment for your baby, as this can make them harder to get to sleep when the noises and home’s rhythms get back to normal. 

This is the perfect time to explore classical music, if it's not already part of your life. The same music that helps your child fall asleep can also help calm your own nerves and provide a wonderful time of bonding and respite for you and your child together.
