Singing for newborns has benefits that are very beneficial for growth. Quoted from The Guardian, Sally Goddard Blythe, nerve development education consultant and director of the Neuro Pshycological Pshycology Institute in America said, parents should sing songs for their babies every day because the process can stimulate development. The more often it is done, the more the development will increase.
Babies have innate abilities, which detect certain rhythms. This is evidenced by researchers from Hungary and the Netherlands through research by measuring baby brain waves. When a certain music is played, baby brain waves are seen experiencing movement in accordance with the rhythm of the music playing.
Singing lullabies or lullabies to babies before they learn to speak is a very important early education. Songs and rhythms will help prepare the child's hearing and brain in language. Listening to music and singing along with poems and songs helps develop the function of both sides of the baby's brain.
Since when should you get used to singing for babies?
Parents and prospective parents can start singing for babies since the little one is still in the womb. The sound of mother and father singing is felt by the fetus as a vibration. The amniotic fluid surrounding it is a great conductor of sound vibrations.
Some studies show that the fetus can generally respond to sounds at the age of 18-20 weeks. At that age, the ear structure is formed even though the hearing nerve development is not perfect. Then, at the age of 25-27 weeks, the fetus begins the process of hearing low-pitched sounds, but not for high notes. This process will continue often with the growth of the baby in the stomach.
However, until now there has been no large-scale research that is able to prove the direct effects of singing for the fetus with the development of the brain. Therefore, mothers and fathers are actually not required to play songs or sing for babies who are still in the womb.
Unlike the case with babies who are born. For a born baby, the melody and rhythm you sing to him are actually similar to his own voice when mumbling or babbling. That way, the baby will feel a bond with the parents who sing the song for him. This was explained by a developmental psychologist from NYU Child Study Center in the United States, Daniela Montalto, Ph.D.
So, parents are advised to start singing for babies as soon as they are born.
How do you stimulate your baby through music and singing?
The best way to give music to babies is to sing it directly. No need to worry if you can't sing. For the baby, flat tones or less melodious sounds are not a problem. The singing voice especially from a mother and father will make her feel directly connected and provide comfort.
The thing to remember is that you are prohibited from playing music through headphones. Baby's ears are still very sensitive and play music directly through headphones potentially damaging the baby's ears. Singing directly is the most appropriate way for babies to have a strong relationship with the mother and father.
What are the benefits of singing directly for babies?
- Build and strengthen the inner bond between mother, father and baby.
- Optimizing passion and mood baby so that it can facilitate the baby in the feeding process and speed up the sleep process.
- According to a study from experts at the University of Montreal, singing songs is more effective in reducing emotions and calming babies than talking in an ordinary tone.
