• When your infant is sick, you’ll do anything to turn the tide, right? Music therapy has been around for literally thousands of years, but most people don’t realize how powerfully healing music can be. With a preemie or newborn full-term infant, there are many benefits.
• When a baby is sick, you must stabilize the heart-beat: music with a slow, soft, steady pulse can do that. Our bodies automatically synchronize with the pulse of music!
• When a baby is sick, s/he needs to hear a soft, comforting, preferably familiar voice. A mother or other singing lullabies, can calm a frightened and agitated newborn.
• When a baby is underweight and needs to take in nourishment, soft lullabies playing can help a baby calm down enough to take in the nourishment s/he desperately needs.

A crying infant seriously disturbs not only the sleep of the entire family, but also the mental health.  As a therapist, I’ve had many people tell me that they are emotionally exhausted and drained after a hard night of walking the floors with a colicky baby.  The CD of lullabies that I created is intended to familiarize the mother and entire family with classic lullaby melodies.  If you play this in your home or car before baby arrives, you’ll learn these tunes and they’ll be safely stored in your brain!  When you get home from hospital with infant and he begins to cry, you can begin softly crooning these lullabies and, believe or not, baby will recognize them from all the times you played them before he was born.

Many people do not realize that the unborn baby can hear almost everything the mother hears from the 4th month forward!  This means that the sonic environment should be soothing, comforting and not loud or raucous in any way.

I have created a lullaby CD/download just for you and your baby. Click on the image of the mother and baby at the side of the blog to purchase. Let me know how I can help you!
