Ep161: Connecting with Your Baby Through Song with Music Therapist Vered Benhorin

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is a really fun episode about music! I really do wish I had this information when I was pregnant. I know it feels natural for a lot of us to sing to our babies and it turns out there’s a reason for that. As our guest Vered Benhorin explains, there may well be some compelling science behind the benefits of music both before and after birth.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A mother of three, Vered knows a thing or two (or three!) about birth and babies. Music was a powerful tool for her in parenthood and was central to her pre-mom life. Now a music therapist and psychotherapist, she has developed classes and techniques for parents to integrate the power of song into their babies lives.</span></p> <h3><strong>In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:</strong></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-How Vered’s path shifted from aspiring rockstar to musical mom</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-How music helped her connect with her baby</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-Why it is so beneficial to sing to your baby during pregnancy</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-How songs can help in developing a routine</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-How to choose what songs to sing</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-How to reframe what makes a “good” singing voice</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-Why Vered recommends a labor playlist</span></p> <p>Full website notes: <a href= "http://episodes/view/drnicolerankins.com/episode161">drnicolerankins.com/episode161</a></p> <p>Check out <a title="The Birth Preparation Course" href= "episodes/view/episodes/view/episodes/view/episodes/view/episodes/view/view/episodes/view/episodes/view/episodes/view/view/episodes/view/episodes/view/view/episodes/view/drnicolerankins.com/enroll">The Birth Preparation Course</a></p> <p>Register for the class <a href= "https://drnicolerankins.com/survey/">How to Create a Birth Plan the Right Way</a></p> <p>Take a quick, fun <a hr
