"Smart babies - Does learning start in the womb?"
This is the title of an article written by Mary Fetzer and posted to pregnancy&newborn on the SheKnows website.
At BabyPlus we have always indicated that learning can begin in the womb using the one language a baby understands - the mother's heartbeat. Recently, the idea of prenatal education has become more and more 'mainstream.' With scientific studies and over 150,000+ BabyPlus babies all over the world - not to mention the many, many BabyPlus parents who contact us with great anecdotal evidence - we already know this to be true: babies can (and do) learn in the womb.
Ms. Fetzer's article summarizes the recent study in Hungary where "the research suggests that spoken words are muffled by the amniotic fluid and music is too complex. Instead, the developing baby is most able to recognize a simple beat. The findings suggest that babies recognize beats as early as three months before birth."
"The first stage of learning was thought to begin at birth and last until age 2. This latest research, however, confirms that learning – the baby’s ability to perceive and remember beats – actually begins in the womb."
