Did you know? Babies in the womb can distinguish sounds. Then, just 5 hours after birth, their brains immediately begin to learn from the sounds around them, especially words with various meanings in every language. This information was confirmed by a team of neuroscientists from Bangor University UK and published in the journal Nature Human Behavior. This clearly indicates that "sound-emitting newborn toys" are essential for every child to grow with appropriate development. A great option for parents to easily create a world of sound for their little ones.

Why is “sound” important for newborns?

“Sound” is part of a baby's auditory skills. Normally, babies at this age perceive their surroundings through sight, hearing, and touch. Therefore, sound is very important for the development of all five senses. It indicates that the baby is growing appropriately and can perceive their surroundings through hearing. This is one of the natural learning methods for infants. Especially if you choose to use music or sounds from newborn toys with high and low tones, it will help the baby be in a good mood, happy, easy to raise, not fussy, and further develop other aspects in the future.

Why choose sound-emitting newborn toys?

As explained, a baby's auditory skills begin while they are still in the mother's womb. Therefore, the use of sound-emitting newborn toys is not just for after birth, but parents can start immediately while they are still in the womb. There are many benefits to choosing this type of toy to promote infant development, including:

- Promotes good mental health and stimulates emotional development in infants. When listening to music or soft, pleasant sounds, babies tend to feel relaxed, just like adults. They are easy to raise, not often fussy, and will grow up to be calm and not self-centered.

- Sounds from toys help children focus, become interested in what is in front of them, or try to find the source of the sound. This promotes brain development, analysis, and problem-solving skills.

- Helps stimulate small muscles by listening to rhythms or moving to the music. This strengthens the body's systems, making them strong and healthy, and not easily susceptible to illness.

- Infants will begin to differentiate between different sounds and gradually develop this skill further, such as recognizing their parents' voices or recognizing sounds that make them happy.

- Stimulates growth and enhances many other aspects of development, such as talking, trying to communicate with the sound source they hear, making sounds, strengthening the function of various muscles, stimulating brain function, building imagination, wanting to participate with parents, etc.

Additionally, choosing sound-emitting newborn toys is also considered safe for infants compared to letting them hear sounds through IT devices such as TVs, mobile phones, or tablets. If parents are not careful and let their children watch programs through these channels for a long time, it can lead to long-term negative effects on eyesight or the development of pseudo-autism. On the other hand, sound-emitting toys can also train skills and enhance other aspects of development concurrently, so children do not get bored.

Tips for choosing sound-emitting newborn toys

1. High-quality materials that do not affect the infant

Infants are still very delicate in terms of their bodies and various organs. Therefore, it is necessary to choose sound-emitting baby toys made from high-quality materials that do not contain harmful chemicals, such as wooden toys, even if the child touches them.

2. Toys appropriate for age and development

Parents do not need to buy toys for future growth, but should choose toys appropriate for their child's age and development. For example, for newborns, choose toys specifically designed for this age group to give them the opportunity to learn and develop skills effectively. As the child grows, gradually change the type of toys to enhance other aspects of development.

3. Well-designed and not harmful to children

Do not forget about good design for newborn toys, with no sharp corners or too small parts, for safety and to prevent harm to infants while playing with the sound-emitting toy.
