A perfect gift for a newborn!


These babies look so adorable with the headphones. And yes, ladies with babies out there - let them listen to classical music!!!

In this article - 'Babies Unwind Wearing Headphones' from the National Geographic News, doctors are helping new arrivals with a unique way of dealing with stress. They found that listening to classical music help newborns reduce stress and stay healthy. Another study found that listening to a Mozart piano sonata for ten minutes prior to taking an intelligence test improved students' scores.

This reminds me of the time when Fiona and I visited Mag after her baby, Ryan, was born. We were at her place and Mag being the good mother had the radio tuned to the classical music channel. The very minute Mag left the room to get us drinks, we switched the channel to something that was playing the usual pop/rock stuff. She was NOT amused by what we did even though we tried telling her that Ryan seemed to be enjoying the loud fast music alot more.

Thankfully, our little stunt didn't do much harm. Ryan is a lovely boy who is intelligent and super adorable!
