Talk with your baby

I waa wondering, do you mamas talk to your little ones?

I read that it is good to develop a good relationship with the baby so when the baby comes to the world you are more close then every.

So I would like to know do you read stories to them? Talk about your day? Is there any specific thing you do? Are there any books, apps, etc to help with that?

This sounds like first pregnancy kind of thing lol I really don’t think it makes a difference. And when you’re on your second or third the last thing you’re thinking about is talking to your belly😂

Lol. By the second and third they hear you yelling at the other kids all day. 😂

I listened to the books on audible on my commutes during my second pregnancy.

I never talk to my belly during my pregnancies.

Me and my partner read my bump. I read an article about how babies can recognise a certain story/song if your read it a lot throughout your pregnancy (rhyming stories work better). My boyfriend probably reads to her more because she hears my voice a lot when I’m talking throughout the day anyway so it’s nice for her to get used to his voice too. I do like to sing twinkle twinkle little star to her sometimes though :) and if she’s kicking I’ll say ‘hello baby’ and give her a little prod back

You don’t need to literally talk to them directly; just hearing you and your partners voice while you’re going about your day to day is enough.

Yep! I sing the same song to her when I wake up and another one before bed (both made up and have her name in 😂😂😂) and sometimes I just tell her what we are doing etc. I listen to a lot of podcasts and radio during the day while I work and sometimes I tell her stuff about what we are listening to. My husband talks to her everyday too and sings and does voices too 😂😂😂

I will occasionally talk to baby and May start doing it more as I get later on in pregnancy. That being said I don’t know if it makes a giant difference either way. The way I see it 1. If baby is going to get to know my voice he will hear it just from me talking to other people haha and 2. I’ve heard that female voices are harder for baby to hear than male voices, or at least they don’t develop the ability to hear soft female voices until a little later than male ones. I’d say do whatever you want! It can be fun to talk to baby and read to them, but if it feels weird don’t worry about it or don’t beat yourself up for not doing it :)

I dont talk to my baby, unless he moves or kicks and then I will say something like "oh hey there little one" or like "whoa there bud" when its painful lol. I also sing/play piano pretty regularly, so I am sure he knows my voice by now. But idk, I dont think talking or reading would hurt, I just dont think itll make that huge of a difference for babe (although, if it helps you and your partner bond with baby, then do it!). :) Once he is born, I will sing like usual, and read to him often. :)

I definitely talked to my first, with my second the only time I really talked to him was when he was doing BIG movements, and I just hit 16 weeks with this one. I’m sure she’s sick of my voice already from raising her big sister and brother all day. 😂
