What's Baby Listening To?

We're all to that stage where are LO'S ears are developing and can hear :) It's been recommended to start reading to baby, and I've heard some people play music. What are you doing or thinking of doing? Are you using headphones?

    We are listening to classical music.. piano concertos mainly! So lovely :) Nutcracker Ballet too. I am unsure if earbuds would work.. like.. one in my belly button to let sound travel through the amniotic fluid?   :# I'm weird. Please advise. Maybe just a speaker near my belly would be better.

    I have belly buds. I like that they are set up to make sure baby can hear the music, but control the volume so it never gets too loud.The baby will hear the music better that way than just through your computer or phone or whatever. I put one on either side of my stomach, just a little lower than my belly button.

    I read books out loud several times a week, and I use the belly buds three or four times a week too. I play lots of classical music- Chopin, Mozart, Bach, Rachmaninoff, etc. DH is a classically trained pianist, so he has lots of opinions on what the baby should be listening to. (I also sneak in some James Taylor, Billy Joel, Carole King, stuff like that. Lots of singer songwriters, because I think a lot of their melodies would be calming and pleasant.)

    Your post reminded me of that vagina speaker that is supposed to be for baby's benefit. It's funny...

    Same. I haven't explicitly played anything for babies, but DD has become really fond of them. She's started wanting to give them hugs and kisses every night and she rests her head on my belly and sings and talks to them. Yesterday she sang twinkle twinkle little star and told them the sounds that animals make. 

    I should probably start some classical soon.

    I like to talk to baby on my morning drive into work. There's not much good music playing at 4am and it's an hour drive.

    I'm a little embarrassed of the things this child has probably heard me sing in the shower. Anyone remember "I Luv Your Girl" by The Dream? No? Just me? What about Laffy Taffy by D4L? 
    And... I've been singing Laffy Taffy for the past 10 minutes. :joy:

    Hahahaha I feel like rap songs in that time period realllly wanted girls to enjoy that particular activity more than we typically do. 50 cent's candy shop is another example. 
    It's cute when men are such obvious dreamers. Plus, the thicker you are, the more it hurts your girl's jaw, and the less likely she is to go for that long, sooooo...Yeah. Anyway. I'm going to stop talking about blow jobs now. :grimace:
    Obvious dreamers :joy: that's the perfect description!

    DH wanted to use this as the cake-cutting song at our wedding :neutral: And that was the last time he was allowed to have an opinion.
    Hahaha.... seriously? Wow, I can just imagine the reaction that would have gotten!

    Ummmm...i guess I'll start. dh and I are just our goofy loud selves and that's what baby has been listening to...i love classical (I played piano for 10 years) and that's gonna start being my go to playlist....otherwise it's been a bunch of 90s rock & ska, and some 80s rock lately regarding music.

    eta: words...i got a new phone and it's still learning how I type.

    Well I know i'll be an interesting Mom.... Baby has been listening to whatever i'm listening to, so "Classics" like Nelly, TLC, and other assorted 90's pop, rock and rap.  Also some Country and DH listens to rock in the car.  :o
    I tole DH baby can hear now and I told him what I've been listening to and he just laughed haha.
    That sounds similar to what my LO is being introduced to ;)

    He's probably hearing "the farmer in the dell" over and over, because that's DS number one request. We also read a ton to DS, so that's easy. Honestly, I think the baby probably sleeps a lot and likes things to be quiet in there, especially with his older brother talking non stop.

    When I was pregnant with DS, DH had a sub in our truck and would blast the bass. Pretty sure DS loved it. He sold the sub right before we had DS lol

    I haven't put anything up to my stomach for baby to hear, but I listen to TLC Radio on Pandora every morning. 

    @mrsmarygs Love Family Fued! My husband got on to me the other day because that's basically all I watch. I told him life is better with Family Fued and that I am building up my team for when I am on the show because DH sucks at it.

    @dogdisnylovr Hehe, I'd be pretty bad at it too. I'm good at home on the couch, but if I was in front of an audience, I'm sure my mind would go blank.
