The so-called “Mozart effect” first entered the public conscience in the early 90s. The theory states that listening to classical music while pregnant, will make your baby smarter. We talk a lot about how babies become smarter on My New Life, so host Jessica Rolph figured she better dig into this theory. Here to give us a straight answer is Dr. Thomas Dardarian. He is an OB-GYN at Axia Women's Health and past president of the American College of Osteopathic Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

Key Takeaways:

[1:45] Does playing Mozart while pregnant make our babies smarter?

[2:47] What can we extrapolate from evidence of new neurons generated in chicks and rats exposed to music in utero?

[4:33] What about other sounds? When does a baby start to hear sounds outside the belly?

[5:24] Does does talking and singing to the baby in the womb make a difference?

[7:06] Where does Dr. Dardarian come down on regularly reading to a baby in utero?

[8:36] What about repetitive prenatal reading of a single story? Can that have an impact?

[9:52] Is there danger in exposing your unborn child to loud of music or other loud sounds?
