Why you should read to your baby bump<\/h3>\r\n

Studies have revealed that around 24 weeks\u2019 of gestation, your baby is able to perceive sounds from the outside. Of course, this isn\u2019t carved in stone, so don\u2019t be disheartened if your little one takes a couple of weeks more to respond. Your baby will be able to distinguish your voice over that of others very soon!<\/p>\r\n

Reading to the baby in utero has several proven benefits, both for the mother-to-be and the baby. For you, it\u2019s a great way to destress at the end of a long day, which itself is reason enough to read. For the baby, you\u2019re providing a platform to enhance his\/ her memory. It may also aid in language development over the long term.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

Personalised content \u2013 yay or nay?<\/h3>\r\n

When it comes to reading to your baby bump, you\u2019re often left wondering as to what to read. It can be quite confusing, honestly, but let\u2019s get you familiar with a few options. Look around you: is that a magazine you spot? Flip through it for light articles that you can read out loud. Remember, at the stage, the baby is listening keenly to your voice and is not able to comprehend the content as much.<\/p>\r\n

A baby book is, of course, a great idea if you have access to one. With simple rhythmic words, this is the perfect choice. Parents today also have the option of customising books for their children. This personalisation can be in terms of content, or even something as simple as incorporating your child\u2019s name as the titular character. When it comes to a baby in the womb, however, you may not have a name yet. Let\u2019s then look at the personalised content. While this is not essential, it helps set up a scene of comforting familiarity for the baby, given that you are likely to read the same book to the baby once he\/ she is born. Personalise the book, if possible, to include other family members \u2013 a sibling, or grandparents \u2013 or even a pet. A story can be created to revolve around each of these characters. Your baby will enjoy this personalised story for a long time to come!<\/p>\r\n
