“My Husband Read To My Belly Every Night. When Our Daughter Was Inconsolable In The NICU I Told Him To Read To Her…”
There are all sorts of ways for parents to bond with their baby before birth. In the third trimester, this includes talking to them! Sure, they won’t understand what you’re saying. But that doesn’t mean your voice and words won’t have a positive impact. On the contrary, talking to babies in the womb can help with early language development. That said, when one dad read to his baby in the womb, he had no idea this would happen…
For reasons that aren’t explained in this viral video, Kaitlyn’s baby had to stay in the NICU for a while. If you’ve ever had a little one here, you understand how nerve-wracking it can be. All you want is for your baby to be safe and happy. So, when Kaitlin’s baby wouldn’t stop crying, Dad decided to do something that seemed to comfort her in the womb: He read to her. Watch the video below to witness this newborn’s reaction…

When Dad Reads a Book to Newborn in the NICU, His Daughter Stops Crying Within Seconds
“The baby stopped crying and I started crying,” someone humorously admitted in reply to Kaitlyn’s video. Other commenters added, “Imagine going from a protected quiet place to a loud over stimulating world… his voice is familiar and safe” and “I love the nervous but excited look [he gave] to you when she quieted.”
Reading to babies in the womb doesn’t just improve their language development skills. By getting the baby familiar with the parent’s voice, they’re sure to find comfort in that very voice once they’re welcomed into the world. Considering how new, loud, and bright the world is for a newborn, this comfort can truly make a huge difference. So, if you ever feel silly talking to a baby who is still in the womb, just remember Kaitlyn’s heartwarming video!
