When can your baby hear in the womb?

Already in the 16th week of pregnancy, your baby begins to perceive first sounds. The development of hearing is completed 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 respond to melodies they have already heard in the womb and can recognize them.

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

Sterntaler Musical Boxes: Safety and Comfort for Your Baby

When you choose a music box, it is important to pay attention to quality and safety. Sterntaler music boxes are known for their durability and the mechanical movement 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 playtime. It is true that the melody only plays as long as the string is wound up. This means you have to wind the music box more often. However, this limited length of the winding string is not a disadvantage but a deliberate safety measure. The string is designed not to exceed a certain length to minimize the risk of strangulation. This way, you can be sure that your baby can play with the music box without any concerns.

New since 2024: Ergonomic star shape for more independence

Sterntaler always keeps the needs of parents and babies in mind. Since 2024, all new Sterntaler music boxes are equipped with an ergonomic star-shaped winder. The special feature: thanks to the cutout in the star, even small children can wind the music box themselves at an early stage. This promotes your baby's motor development and gives them the opportunity to actively participate in soothing – another step towards independence.
