At 16 weeks the unborn baby is particularly receptive to its motherâs voice. This is because the vibrations that travel through her body to the womb are stronger than noises coming from outside the womb. At 20 â 24 weeks, the unborn baby can recognise the deeper tones of its father's voice. Around 24 weeks. Babies develop preferences for music while in the womb. Fridman (2000)[ 3 ] found that the babiesâ heart rates increased and that they moved around in rhythm to the music.
That ability starts at about 30 weeks; before that time, tissues plug up the nasal cavities. The sense of smell begins developing much earlier, as olfactory epithelial cells form in a fetus at 9 weeks along with nostrils. These cells connect to molecules that bind with the olfactory nerve (which leads to the brain). After your baby develops a sense of smell, he can actually smell everything that you eat or inhale. The lesson: Mom should eat what she wants her baby to like to smell. More About this Book
