When can your baby hear in the womb?

As early as the 16th week of pregnancy, your baby begins to perceive first sounds. 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 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 soothing effect because the baby already perceives these sounds as familiar (Lecanuet et al., 1996).¹

Sterntaler Musical Toys: Safety and Comfort for Your Baby

When you choose a Musical Soft Toy, it is important to pay attention to quality and safety. Sterntaler Musical Soft Toys are known for their durability and the mechanical movement that does not require batteries. These Musical Soft Toys are not only sustainable but also especially safe.

One point that some parents criticize about mechanical Musical Soft Toys 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 Musical Soft Toy 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 Musical Soft Toy safely and without concern.

New in 2024: Ergonomic star shape for more independence

Sterntaler always keeps the needs of parents and babies in mind. Since 2024, all new Musical Soft Toys from Sterntaler come with an ergonomic star-shaped winder. The special feature: thanks to the cutout in the star, even very young children can wind the Musical Soft Toy themselves. This promotes your baby's motor development and gives them the opportunity to actively participate in soothing themselves – another step toward independence.
