Even just before your baby is born you'll be able to do a whole lot to assist her or him turn into a smart baby ready for the actual world. You are able to take a look at the womb as a prenatal learning and fetal development center. Studies completed by researchers like Dr. Jean-Pierre Lecanuet has shown that when your baby is inside the womb is a critical time to begin developing personality, tastes and even abilities. For example: eating garlic brings traces of it into the amniotic fluid which appears to make the baby quickly accept garlic if it's later in the breast milk during feeding. So here are a couple of things you can do to stimulate your baby's development in the womb.

Even though your baby is not physically present with you at this moment, you can still feel about him now and about the time when you would meet soon. Thinking such happy thoughts will flood your system with endorphins and other neuro-chemicals that trigger happiness. Those chemicals can pass by means of the umbilical cord to your baby present him with a sense of comfort, love and stability.

Your baby has limited hearing, but sound carries well in water. So talk, sing, read to your baby.

Just like a baby tends to prefer her mother's heartbeat and voice, it is possible to also teach the baby to be utilized to a stimulus (pay much less attention to it). So if there is a constant sound inside your life (ex. living next to a train) there is a great chance your baby is going to be employed to it.

Prepare your baby for life after birth. Tell your baby about the normal, everyday experiences you face within the world she is going to be born into. Make experiences out of even littlest mundane activities inside your life. Keep in mind, what seems ordinary to you is certainly not ordinary for your baby!

Play music also, even if the mozart effect turns out to be fake, just playing music does make new connections inside your baby's brain and increased connections within the brain means more learning abilities. Play far more low pitched relaxing music simply because babies tend to hear low pitched music greater, so playing relaxing music not just relaxes mom but baby also.

And mom requirements to stay relaxed, since your baby will even follow in sync with her heart beat. So if mom is stressed the increased heart rate and flood of cortisol in the blood stream will make the baby's heart race and also create more cortisol. Even though just a little bit of stress or elevated heart rate might be useful for building heart muscles and obtaining the body utilized to the tension, lengthy periods of elevated tension is when actual damage occurs. Too a lot cortisol can prevent the brain from laying down a new memory, or from accessing already existing memories.

But just as tension affects your baby, the opposite is true. A study performed at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, followed 156 fetuses. The ones whose mother's wanted the pregnancy, had high self-esteem, and received plenty of support had babies with the calmest heart rate. Where as those whose mothers felt high levels of anxiety, got small support, and had high levels of stress hormones the babies had a lot higher heart rates (which have been linked to heart disease and diabetes). The higher stress levels have been associated to slow fetal growth, lower birth weight, and increased possibility of premature delivery, which have been detected as early as the second trimester.

So take benefit of these nine months to provide the optimum environment feasible for the development of your baby. Introduce your baby to your favorite music, dance actions, and other experiences you appreciate.
