How Does Music Help Children Sleep Better

From those cute yawns, drowsy eyes, anxious crying and more, bedtimes are as eventful for babies as they are for new parents. As a parent too, you can only rest when your baby does! Sometimes though, no amount of cradling, pillows, and hushing can prove enough for that peaceful slumber your baby needs. But the question is – have you tried to take the help of music to help your child sleep better? 

From lullabies to classical tunes, music has been scientifically proven to help babies sleep better.

1. They’ll sleep for longer 

Babies often keep going from light sleep to deep sleep through the night. Some slow music can help drown out distractions and noises, and help them fall back into deep sleep faster. After you’ve placed your baby in their crib bedding sets, with bolster pillows around, playing soft, soothing sleep music can help your child not just fall asleep but also stay asleep for longer. 

2. They’ll be smarter 

Music has been known to help brain development for children, right from the womb! While pre-birth, music can help the baby relax, and give a soothing effect, while growing up, it can help a child develop language and emotional skills. 

3. They’ll be calmer 

Music is known to evoke emotions, so slow, soft music or lullabies can help your baby (and you) wind down and be ready for bedtime without a fight, or too many tears. A soft melody while your baby coos in their baby mattress, with a head pillow cradling them and supporting their neck, can help them calm down.

4. They’ll relax 

Since our bodies react to the sounds around us, loud noises can make us and babies tense too. Calming music can relax those muscles!

While regulating their heartbeat, music relaxes your baby’s muscles so they can go right to sleep, and wake up feeling refreshed!
