  • The auditory system enables the development of language, which depends on interactions between the fetus, and later the newborn, with the environmental stimuli to which they are exposed.

  • The perception of sounds by the fetus begins before birth, starting in the third trimester of pregnancy.

  • During pregnancy, it is important to talk to your baby, play music for them, and introduce them to different sounds and voices.

  • However, some precautions should be taken to protect your baby from exposure to loud noises:

    • In the last trimester of pregnancy, avoid spending too much time in very noisy environments, such as concerts;
    • You can play a musical instrument while pregnant, but avoid amplifiers or very loud instruments like the drums;
    • Do not put earphones on your belly. The baby can hear ambient music well enough and also enjoys periods of calm.
