When can your baby hear in the womb?

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

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

Sterntaler Musical Boxes: Safety and Comfort for Your Baby

When choosing a Musical Soft Toy, it is important to pay attention to quality and safety. Sterntaler Musical Soft Toys are known for their durability and mechanical music mechanism, which requires no batteries. These Musical Soft Toys are not only sustainable but also particularly safe.

One point that some parents criticize about mechanical Musical Soft Toys is their limited playing time. It is true that the melody only plays as long as the string is wound. This means that you have to wind the Musical Soft Toy again more often. However, this limited length of the winding string is not a disadvantage but a deliberate safety precaution. The string is designed not to exceed a certain length in order to minimize the risk of strangulation. This means you can be sure that your baby can play with the Musical Soft Toy safely and without concern.

New since 2024: Ergonomic star shape for greater independence

Sterntaler always keeps the needs of parents and babies in mind. Since 2024, all new Musical Soft Toys from Sterntaler have been equipped with an ergonomic star-shaped wind-up key. What makes it special: Thanks to the opening in the star, even young children can wind up the Musical Soft Toy themselves from an early age. This supports your baby’s motor development and gives them the opportunity to actively help with soothing themselves—another step toward independence.
