The parent’s voice becomes a symbol of a safe environment for the newborn.
The positive effects of lullabies on the mood and overall development of newborns have now been scientifically proven.
Experts have found that mothers who sing lullabies to their babies have a positive effect on the mood of these babies. The following are some of the important effects.
1) Calming the mood
Newborns love the slow, soft, and repetitive melody of lullabies. These lullabies create a calm state by slowing down the heart rate and breathing rate of babies. Babies feel relaxed, which makes their mood happy and content.
2) Improving sleep patterns
Lullabies help babies fall asleep quickly and sleep deeply. It helps in better mood and physical development during sleep.
3) Strengthening emotional bonds
The voice of the parents becomes a symbol of a safe environment for the newborn. Hearing a lullaby in the voice of the mother or father creates a sense of security and love in the baby’s heart. This also improves the emotional development of the baby.
4) Improved language and listening skills Newborns listen carefully to the inflections of their mother’s voice. This process helps the baby’s brain recognize patterns in sounds and language.
