How to Teach an Unborn Baby

Most parents want the best for their children and hope to teach them as much as possible. What some parents may not realize, however, is that teaching your child can begin in the womb. By using different stimuli before the baby is born, the child can learn at a young age about his senses. Using these methods not only teaches your growing baby, but can also help the mom and baby connect before the baby is born.

      From the moment you feel movement from your unborn baby, start to push back, using gentle pushes, as well as massage. This will help you to teach your unborn child about cause and effect.

      Place a set of headphones on your tummy while pregnant. Playing any kind of music, from classical to classic rock, can be helpful for the development of your child. Babies in the womb learn about rhythm and may even breathe in time to the music.

      Talking, reading, and singing to your child teaches her from early on. Not only will the baby connect more with her parents after birth, she will be able to recognize you and her new environment. In fact, babies in the womb can recognize vowel sounds and pattens of speech and intonation.

      Experiment with several different smells and tastes while pregnant. Since babies can taste the amniotic fluid, you can teach your baby about different tastes before he is even born.

Tips & Warnings

  • Reading or singing the same songs to your unborn child may help calm her after birth.

  • When playing music for your baby, crank up the headphones; it is harder for the baby to hear the music through all the amniotic fluid.

  • It is suggested not to play music for the unborn baby for more than an hour a day. Some fear this may overstimulate the baby.
