The child feels safe
When you talk to the baby in the womb, he feels safe and secure. If the baby feels any stress during pregnancy, talking to the mother makes the baby feel better. Apart from the mother, any other parent can also talk to the baby.
Aids in speech development
This also has a positive effect on the child's speech development and ability to understand language. The child is able to understand different languages and is also able to remember words. This benefits not only the child but the mother as well. It is believed that talking to the baby prepares the mother for motherhood.
How to talk to a child?
Place your hand on your belly and say a few words to the baby while gently stroking or massaging the belly. This touch and warmth will make the baby feel your presence. A father should also do the same while talking to his baby.
The baby hears the mother's voice in the womb
Around the 14th week, the baby starts hearing your voice. You can talk to your baby in many ways through audio stimulation. Now your voice can reach the baby directly, so you can talk to him without any worry. Apart from this, both the mother and father should talk to the baby for at least 15 minutes a day. Touching the belly while talking can help in bonding more easily.
