Newborn babies do not like loud noises. While your baby is becoming used to your voice, speak or sing in a soft, gentle, soothing, cooing voice. Research work at Oxford has shown that babies respond better to the high-pitched female voice rather than to the lower-pitched male voice. To a baby the mother's voice is almost like therapy. You should chat, sing or croon to your baby whenever you are with him. It is surprising how even young babies enjoy nursery rhymes and simple songs, particularly if they have a pronounced rhythm and rhyming sound. Some child development research suggests that children who are sung to early in their lives rapidly develop a feeling for and a facility with words. They tend to speak and read slightly earlier than other children.
