When can your baby hear in the womb?

Your baby begins to perceive the first sounds as early as the 16th week of pregnancy. The development of hearing is complete by the 20th week. From this point on, your baby can not only hear your heartbeat and your voice, but also perceive music from outside. Studies show that newborns react to melodies that they have already heard in the womb and can recognize them.

An article from the Journal of Perinatology confirmed that from the 20th week, fetuses' hearing is fully developed and they can respond to external sounds. This includes music and speech, which can have a calming effect later on, as the baby already perceives these sounds as familiar (Lecanuet et al., 1996).¹

Sterntaler music boxes: safety and comfort for your baby

When choosing a music box, it is important to pay attention to quality and safety. Sterntaler music boxes are known for their durability and mechanical mechanism that does not require batteries. These music boxes are not only sustainable, but also particularly safe.

One point that some parents criticize about mechanical music boxes is the limited playing time. It is true that the melody only plays as long as the cord is wound. This means that you have to rewind the music box more often. However, this limited length of the winding cord is not a disadvantage, but a conscious safety precaution. The cord is designed not to exceed a certain length to minimize the risk of strangulation. This means that you can be sure that your baby can play with the music box without any worries.

New since 2024: Ergonomic star shape for more independence

Sterntaler always has the needs of parents and babies in mind. Since 2024, all new Sterntaler music boxes have been equipped with an ergonomic winder in the shape of a star. The special thing about it: thanks to the recess in the star, small children can wind the music box themselves from an early age. This promotes your baby's motor development and gives him the opportunity to actively participate in calming himself - another step towards independence.
