You have probably heard about people playing Mozart or talking to babies while still in the womb to try and give them a head start. The big problem of course is that by the time the sound passes through to the baby, everything sounds like the adults from a Peanuts television special.The problem has finally been solved with the Ritmo Advanced Sound System (and yes, it appears to be a real product in spite of my initial skepticism that this had to be a joke or a story from the Onion, as it is available for purchase on Amazon.) Pregnant women can now wear speakers right on their body and pump their favorite iPod mix right into their baby, starting hearing damage months earlier than was previously possible.
Another case of just because you can do something does not necessarily mean you should do it!

ummmm.........
Has anyone ever proved that playing music or sounds to a child in the womb has some sort of desirable effects? When do ears develop? Or is it just vibrations they're picking up?
I could just see some heavy metal mama blasting head banging music to her belly.
I don’t know about babies still in the oven, but a friend of mine has a dairy farm in Oconto and plays roll & roll music for the cows when they come in for milking. He told me it relaxes them. I didn’t believe it, so he changed the radio station. Within minutes, all the cows were making noise and hammering around in their stalls. He put rock & roll back on and they chilled right out!
I thought the classical stuff did that.
ok, just TOO weird for me....
