When my son was born, I was pretty clueless as to how to even manage taking care of a child. I mean, I had some books, watched some videos, asked a lot of questions, but when the thing cried............ugh. My wife and I took some advice from a friend of mine who had used the services of a woman that was well known in a circle of families with young babies who did all of the visits for free (Alaskan benefit since she was a registered nurse). She came over and did cognitive tests, seeing our son's abilities in reacting to certain stimulus, and finding out what to look for as far as mental development (is he following my voice, does he grab things, and so on).
Well, one of the most important things to a new born is rhythm. Since they have been conceived in the womb, they are so very familiar with the heartbeat. That rhythmic pulse is essential to their comfort. I was told that playing rhythmic music for the baby would soothe him. I opted for Prince. My son loved his evening car rides amid the snowy banks in Alaska.
