1) Best Time to Start Music Fetal Education
From week 16, the baby’s auditory system matures enough to respond to sounds. This is the most suitable time to begin music-based bonding.
2) Recommended Music Types
- Gentle classical pieces (Mozart, Bach, soft symphonies)
- Light piano or violin melodies
- Nature sounds (flowing water, birdsong)
- Mother’s soft singing — the most natural fetal music
3) Scientific Practices
- 15–30 minutes per day is sufficient.
- Keep volume at 55–65 dB (similar to soft conversation).
- No need to place headphones on the belly; room playback is enough.
- Mother should stay relaxed — calm emotions transfer naturally to the baby.
4) Precautions & Misconceptions
- Avoid loud rock or overly fast rhythms.
- Do not place headphones directly on the belly for long periods.
- The goal is maternal relaxation, not making the baby “smarter.”
