Moms and scientists alike believe that babies in the womb can hear sounds from the outside world.  In fact, the ears develop as early as around 8 weeks!   Parents are encouraged to talk to their children so that the baby recognizes their voices when they are born.

It is also widely believed that the reason many upset babies are comforted when being held close to the chest is that the soothing sound of a heartbeat is familiar and calming to them, reminding them of when they were safe and warm in Mom's tum.

Slumbersounds is dedicated to finding products to help soothe fussy babies, and they have created a very special CD of gentle music, accompanied by a soft, rhythmic beat which is reminiscent of a heartbeat.

The music will be familiar to you, as many of the songs are well known lullabies, and once your baby grows accustomed to falling asleep to these songs then you will be able to quieten them by softly singing or humming the nursery rhyme even when you don't have the CD to hand.

The calming sound of a heartbeat reassures your baby and helps them to feel safe and protected, letting them relax and go to sleep.

All of the songs are arranged with a backdrop of gentle strings and soft synthesized chords that create a New Age sound which sends even cranky babies to sleep.  Will no more crying, the soft music will probably help frazzled parents to drift off into slumber too!
