Baby Bach

Experience of reading Out Loud during preg, listening to classical music, and teaching a baby Sign Language.?

I am 5 months pregnant and i have been purchasing bedtime books since my 20th week. I read somewhere that it really helps the development of my babys brain in the womb. i am also going to buy some bach and mozart to play in the background. I have also purchased some baby books that show basic sign language and i have started practicing and teaching my bf. I was wondering what the experinence has been for mothers who have done this with their children.

I started reading aloud to my daughters when they were in the womb. It didn't matter to them what I read, and I enjoy reading novels for pleasure, so I started with "Pride and Prejudice." It's a little too soon to tell with my youngest, but my 6 year old is reading on a 4th grade level.
Of course I have continued reading to them after birth. Still novels until my oldest was about 4 months. I went on to picture books when she started to point and coo, but read things without pictures Like Alice In Wonderland and The Wizard of OZ at bedtime. I think that has more to do with it than prenatal reading.

I never played music for my child in the womb, but I'm sure it can't hurt. I kind of wish I had tried it.

I didn't teach them sign language either, but my sister teaches her daycare children and their parents basic signs, and they all pick up on it very fast. She says it's much easier to communicate with a 12 month old who knows basic signs, as they don't have the vocal skills yet, but can still understand and sign their needs. I wish I lived closer to her so that she could teach us too.

Congratulations and Good Luck
