Pediatric research has revealed the extraordinary capacity of babies to recognize their mother's voice even while in the womb. It's truly remarkable how this special connection is established before birth.
Additionally, babies have the ability to hear and be familiar with specific music or books that mothers played or read aloud during pregnancy.
When they are born, babies exhibit a sense of familiarity and recognition towards these sounds, carrying these auditory memories with them and forming a deep connection to the music and stories they were exposed to before birth.
Just as they retain memories of music and stories from the womb, they also remember the comforting sensations of self-touch experienced in utero.
These pleasurable sensations create a desire for babies to naturally seek out and replicate those feelings outside the womb as well. It's remarkable how babies carry these memories and instinctively strive to recreate the soothing self-touch they experienced in the womb for a sense of familiarity and comfort.
To support your baby's natural inclination for self-soothing, encourage hand-to-face and hand-to-mouth movements while swaddling. The FX (Fetal Flex) Swaddle helps achieve this by facilitating the baby's natural self-soothing behaviors while still calming their startle reflex and providing a sense of safety and security.
Developed in Australia, the patented Fetal Flex design replicates the natural arm movement of the womb, helping babies gradually gain control of their own arm movements, aiding in the development of self-soothing skills, and making the transition out of the swaddle easier as they grow.
