How can we make premature babies sleep more peacefully? Dear baby, I suggest you let your premature babies listen to more music, which can help reduce the baby's heart rate!
According to the British "Daily Mail" report on April 15, a new study published in the American "Pediatrics" magazine found that playing music or singing to premature infants can help lower their heart rate, make them breathe more smoothly, and sleep better. Sweet.
Music therapy experts at Beth Israel Hospital affiliated with Harvard Medical School conducted a two-week follow-up survey on 272 premature infants and their mothers in 11 hospitals in the United States. Some babies listen to one of two instruments, some listen to their parents singing, and the rest listen to no music. When you sing or play music to your baby, the tempo will naturally slow down and sound closer to a lullaby. The results found that playing music can slow down the breathing rhythm of newborns and improve sleep quality. Singing by parents can best reduce the baby's heart rate and improve the child's attention.
