How to stimulate premature babies with music?
The first thing you should do is prepare a routine for the musical stimulation to be effective:
1. Every day, make a selection of songs that you want to share with your baby. Look for melodies that you have heard during pregnancy and that the child can somehow recognize.
2. Sing popular melodies, lullabies, etc. Always do it very close and with a soft tone so that it notices your presence. Control the volume to prevent your baby from feeling stressed.
3. The more musical and auditory stimuli he receives, the better it will be for him.
4. A very important point is your attitude. If you as parents are relaxed and calm the baby will feel the same way. Enjoy music together.
