Although your child hearing is developed in utero well before five months of gestation, it isn't until the reach the five month marker that they can really hear outside the womb.
Our pregnancy hit the five month marker in January, when we happened to be vacationing in Roatan, Honduras. As I have posted before its a tiny island off the coast of Honduras.....its paradise.
While there, you hear a constant stream of reggae music- no complaints here. (pun intended). I kept remarking that our daughter Reveille's first sounds are that of the reggae beat. We did some dancing there as well so I know our girl has GOT to have some rhythm.
Well the past couple of times that our sweet girl has been having trouble falling asleep I put on the reggae music station. Thinking that possibly she would be rocked to sweet with the Roatan summer sound and snooze away. Would it be familiar to her? By a slim chance could it be better than a lullaby?
It worked.
Not only once either.
As I type she is sleeping in her swing (I rested quite a bit in a hammock while on the island...hmmm.) and the reggae station is playing its tunes.
Love our girl:)
