Please settle a debate. A kid in the womb is better off listening to stuff like cat in the hat so it can be read to it at bedtime? Or history of the world during the womb and read it later?

  The content doesn’t matter in the slightest.

  Neither will harm or effect your baby in any measurable way.

  What will effect them measurably negatively is having obsessive parents who min/max every decision rather than being happy and enjoying their child.

  It doesn’t matter. A baby doesn’t understand what you read to it. It only hears you voice and regocnizes it once they’re born. But it’llhear your voice in the belly regardless. Every time you say anyyhing, the baby hears your voice. Reading a book to a belly is mostly for the parents-to-be

  I really don’t believe either of those things will do anything at all.

    The content likely doesn’t matter, but I read it helps the baby recognize the parent’s voices, and it can also help them get a head start on recognizing the phenomes of your language.

      If it’s a recording of someone else it sure as hell won’t. Might have some effect on replay, but won’t be making baby any more familiar with the parents.

  It’s mostly about the sound of your voice. My eldest got Vonnegut and Law & Order. So much of the latter that both before and after birth the “dun dun” sound from the show noticeably calmed her down.

  Music of any type would be infinitely more impactful than random words.

  Reading to a baby is about exposing them to different words and patterns than what you get from normal speech.

  If you want my advice, talk to them constantly as if you are the narrator, and smile and make eye contact at every opportunity.

    Not sure if this applies before birth.

    Please demonstrate the prenatal eye contact, I dare you.

  A kid in the womb is better off listening to old people’s regrets and dying wishes so they can handle dying of old age better when the time comes

    I really hope kids in the womb today get the chance to die of old age.

  Why would you do this when you could just as easily have them listen to WeFunk! Radio, the funkiest internet radio around, for free?

  Kids don’t live in wombs

    Not with that attitude.

  Just talk to the baby and play them calm music. The type may matter but what is most important is you interact in some way.

  I don’t think we’re at that stage. People are still debating whether or not that kid is a kid or not.

    My wife had a favourite song when she was pregnant and it was very useful for calming after the birth. It was quite a chill tune.

  I read to my child every night while they were in the womb and when they came out my reading voice was like drugs it would knock them out so quickly if they were sleepy!
