There are many videos and CDs on the market for babies. You may have heard of theories that classical music can help your baby become smarter, and by exposing them to music we are introducing our baby to the world around us.
Music is good for calming your baby and can soothe them so that they become more restful at bedtimes, or for their nap time. There are many good choices out there for your baby.
If you find a piece of music relaxing and love listening to, you may find it is ideal for your baby too. Mozart or Bach are good collections to have for bedtime. For soothing music there is Enya, or another choice for something peaceful and relaxing is Georgia Kelly’s harp music.
Nursery rhymes and music from children’s films can stimulate your baby’s senses when he is awake. Philip Glass is a minimalist and a lot of children respond to his music; the music is simple with a good rhythm and when your baby gets older, he will dance to it. To help get your baby to sleep try the gospel and spiritual music.
You can buy sound machines which simulate the sound of dolphins, or water in the form of rain, the sea or ocean which can be soothing whilst blocking out any background noise in your home. You can also put on a fan, though not directly in your baby’s direction, or some other form of white noise. It isn’t necessary to create an alternate silent surrounding for your baby, as they also need to get used to the usual home rhythm and the activities that go on around the house.
Classical music is also a good genre of music that you can try, if you’re not used to listening to it. Listening to what helps your baby get to sleep, can also be relaxing for you, so while you are both going through that bonding process, you can both enjoy some restful periods together.
