Music can help premature babies feed

An amazing study done by Loewy J et al. [1] in 2013 showed that soothing music may encourage premature babies to feed better, as well as improve their vital signs (like their O2 saturation levels as well as heart rate). It is speculated that this is one of the reasons why singing lullabies to babies comes so naturally to parents and carers.


Listen to Soothing Sound and Song, a Majors for Minors album that adds soothing voices with celtic influences as well as tibetan bowls, pink noise, below average heartbeat tempos and sound frequencies, all designed to calm

Your baby's sleep is important, but probably not in the way you are thinking.

In her book "How Babies & Toddlers Really Sleep" [1], Erica Neser [2] talks about how sleep has a specific kind of impact on how a baby's brain develops.  In just one cycle of roughly one hour, your baby will store memories, lay down paths between brain cells, and then finally secrete growth hormones. It is important that your baby goes through these cycles during sleep, and according to Dr Nils Bergman [3], babies that sleep on their mother's chest experience all the correct sleep cycles and phases.  However, babies that are left to sleep alone might not experience these cycles at all.  According to Dr Nils, while babies that sleep alone might look like they are sleeping, their brainwaves are scrambled. One of the many fears of parents is that their babies' brain will not develop properly if they do not get enough sleep.  Erica believes that this is one of the major factors to why parents try to "teach" their babies to sleep through the night

Improving Sleep in Children: Using Lessons Learned from Children with ADHD

It is probably every single parent out there's hope that come nighttime when they put their little one to sleep, things go smoothly and the child drifts off to sleep without issues.  For a lot of parents, this however is not the case. Visit Majors for Minors for classical music to help your baby sleep. This is especially true of children with ADHD.  A study done by Sung, Hiscock, Sciberras and Efron [1], reported that in Australia 78% of parents stated that their child with ADHD has problems sleeping. Why do children with ADHD have problems sleeping? While children with ADHD are more prone to other mental health issues such as anxiety [2] and depression [3], which can both lead to sleeping problems, some ADHD medication can also be a perpetrator [4]. More than the above though, studies have found an association between ADHD and the CLOCK gene [5].  This is the gene that helps to regulate our circadian rhythm, a biological clock we all have that tells us when to go to sl

The amazing benefits of hugging your baby

Have you ever had that feeling that you just cannot give your baby enough hugs? And that you just want to hold her as much as possible.  Well good news, a recent study [1] has found that hugging your baby during the early part of their life can help with brain development, as well as help with other trauma newborns may experience. A survey done during the research showed that by presenting your newborn with gentle displays of affection can actually have a lasting effect on how the baby's brain reacts to touch.   This is especially relevant to premature babies, where it was found that the more supportive touch the baby received from their parents and the hospital staff, the stronger their brain responses were. View this article on how the music can help premature babies feed. While we as parents might feel our hearts growing every time we hug our babies, the truth of the matter is they that your baby's brain is actually growing faster because of it. So p
