For all the moms to be .....sing songs , play music for ur baby in the womb...as after 5th month the inner ear is well developed and the child can hear everything around you..hence make the baby calm by playing some sutras or mantras in the morning...some baby music..also u can start speaking to your baby in the motherese...for better bonding with the baby....stimulate your baby in the womb itself...it wil b helpful for your baby to pick up speech and language early...you can start talking to baby in as many languages...as at the time of birth a child is supposed to have language learning capability of all the universe languages...the ones u stimulate baby learns and those not exposed to baby fade away..so play with ur baby when he or she is in active mood...u will notice the baby even after birth will recognize those songs which u played..or might respond to ur talks early...let the dad also speak to the baby in womb...the more positive env u give to baby...the better they grow...I am also doing the same..I am North indian married to malayali ..believe me i started calling baby as vava ...and now baby kicks whebevr we say vava but no response when i say beta or beti :D
