All through your pregnancy, your baby bump is your best companion. The bonding between you and your baby develops right before he sees this world. He can recognise your voice, sounds, rhythms and everything else right inside your womb. So, when he comes out, he will develop an instant connection with you when he hears you.
According to experts, bonding with your baby bump can help you and your baby to familiarise with each other. You and your baby will feel relaxed, thanks to which, you will have a healthy and easy pregnancy. Apart from the bonding that develops between you and your baby, when you talk to him before birth, you help in his learning process as well.
Here are some of the top benefits that your baby will enjoy when you bond with him before birth:
1. The baby feels safe
A bond is formed between you and your baby when you talk to your baby bump. This attachment is extremely important because, your baby feels a sense of safety with your familiar voice. After being born, he will be able to associate your voices and recognize them. This assures the baby that it is in a safe environment with his parents around to take care of him.
2. Your baby picks up the language quickly
When you talk to your baby bump, you are introducing your baby to your language and some common words. When you familiarise your baby with your tone and communication style, it helps him to remember those and speak quite early. His brain is swift in picking up languages; therefore, it is highly recommended that you keep talking to your baby even before he is born. Plus, not only does this help to lay a strong foundation for his language, but also helps your baby to recognize your voice after birth.
3. Your baby feels relaxed
Research says that a mom’s voice helps to relax your baby and lower their heart rate. The maternal voice creates a calm and smooth effect on your baby. This comes with repeated exposure to mother’s voice in the womb. The outcome is extremely positive because this gives you a chance to interact with your baby well and provide him with a suitable environment to grow.
Many a times, to-be mothers face a dilemma as to what to talk to your baby while he is inside your womb. Do not worry, the techniques are pretty simple. Singing a lullaby or any melodious song to your baby can do wonders. If music is not your forte, you can try reading stories or reciting nursery rhymes out loud. If nothing works, you can simply talk to your baby like you would after he is born. The method does not matter. What matters is your voice reaches your baby and you start a conversation for life!
