Babies might not have the language skills to express their feelings and thoughts to you, but they do have the sense to distinguish happy tunes from sad tunes. Researchers have proved that babies do respond to music positively. They not only calm down when they listen to lullabies and songs but they feel safe and happy too.
Introduce your baby to the magical world of music and songs
As a parent, you should introduce your baby to songs and music as early as possible. This helps your baby to learn social and language skills faster. Babies love to hear you singing. A baby feels safe and secure when life is predictable for them. So, as a parent, you can play a baby song when your baby wakes up, eats food, about to take a nap, bath time and bedtime. When you sing to your baby, your voice soothes him or her. In fact, babies know your voice, and it is the first point of contact for parental bonding.
Improve motor skills
When you sing to your baby, it will learn to pick up words. Dancing will keep the baby entertained, and as it gets older, it develops motor skills. Songs help your baby remember things. The moment you sing to your baby, you introduce him or her to new words and in the process the vocabulary skills if your baby improves.
Establish sibling bonding with family singing time
With baby songs, you can establish sibling bonding in the family. If you have more than one child, you can introduce singing as a family activity and routine. This is a fun and entertaining way of bonding and being connected with one another. It is also a play activity for everyone. All the siblings will join in and the quality time is worth the investment.
Singing helps you to express love to your baby
Singing songs to your baby helps you to express love. Your baby is a sweet angel, and even though he or she cannot speak its emotions and feelings when you sing to your little one, he or she does feel safe and happy.
