Music and babies

I can still clearly remember the time when I was conceiving Joaquin. My first trimester wasn't that easy at all. I had weekly visits to my Gynecologist because of extreme vomiting episodes. I was even hospitalized for a couple of days to keep me hydrated. I actually thought that I won't recover anymore. I'm just glad I did.

During the 5th month, I have read that classical and instrumental music plays a great role in the early development inside the womb. I made a lot of research of items that I can purchase then and I landed on John Hinson. The site offers a sample of his music and I from that moment, I really admire his music. I even let my hubby hear a few samples,a nd since he has a better ear when it comes to music, i follwed his suggestion when he said that we should get one. It is filled with piano music that is so refreshing. I can feel the emotions in his music. The sound is so soothing so I used it during my bedtime then. It relaxes me so much and the effect to Joaquin ( who was still in my tummy then) was unexplainable. I was able to sleep well with the help of this music.

When Joaquin was a newborn, I played the music during his daytime naps, and it did wonders too. We listen to the entire piano music almost every night and it calms him down , and that would be the start of his bedtime. In times that when he is asleep, I just let the music play. Now that Joaquin is 18 months old, I can see his passion for music. I think the piano music attributes to that because he had an early exposure.

I would highly recommend this to my fellow mommies out there. Try it and be fascinated as well with the kind of music that pianist shares to all of us. It's also in my Christmas shopping list. A few of my high school friends are pregnant now, and I will give them a copy for Christmas. I know , they will enjoy it as much as I do.

I hope I can meet the man behind the music soon. I only saw at the website that he isa father of three beautiful kids, I am definite, that is his inspiration for all of his works. Truly a talented man.
