Nanny Magic 103 - Music Tip #2

What are some of the benefits of listening to music with your baby? Where do I begin?

The benefits are endless.

To name a few, brain development, it teaches them skills that they will need to use in the future for example learning to read, learning language and even math.

It helps them learn to express themselves and share their feelings.

It helps them develop their imagination eventually making up their own songs.

They learn to laugh and repeat words encouraging them to not only use words but memorize them.

For babies, its soothing and calming especially if it’s something you started doing while they were in the womb because its familiar helping them feel cozy and relaxed and sleepy.

Music is helpful to calm a fussy, cranky, or gassy baby while you help them get that gas out.

It even helps with an annoyed toddler because believe me they can get quite annoyed with us.
