For example, studies conducted by the late Dr Lee Salk, eminent child and family authority revealed that when exposed to a recorded heartbeat at 72 beats per minute (BPM), newborn babies gained weight at a faster rate than babies who were not exposed to the heartbeat.
In another example, Dr Harvey Karp, a leading media pediatrician based in Los Angeles, suggests that babies are - in effect - born one trimester too soon and deprived of adequate womb experience. His theory is that babies cry because they miss the safety of the womb and are frightened by the new neonatal world. |
