Research reveals that from around 26 to 28 weeks of gestation, a baby's auditory system becomes capable of hearing various sounds, especially their mother's voice. This exposure to familiar sounds, including her heartbeat and speech, fosters an early connection and primes the baby for language acquisition. The limited auditory range inside the womb allows babies to focus on the pitch and rhythm of speech, suggesting that recognition of these elements is crucial for their development even before birth.
Research suggests that a baby's auditory system is fully developed by 26 to 28 weeks, allowing them to hear and recognize their mother's voice.
Babies exhibit recognition of their mother's voice, indicated by increased heart rates, while unfamiliar voices lead to decreased heart rates.
Prenatal exposure to a mother's speech initiates the first steps towards language acquisition, preparing babies for communication even before they are born.
The insulating nature of amniotic fluid confines detectable sounds primarily to lower frequencies, enabling babies to discern pitch and rhythm in their mother's voice.
