Music for babies

Babies is the brand new 2CD box set from Classic FM featuring Music for Sleeptime and Music for Playtime.

With over 24 tracks the CD features classical tracks from some of the world's most famous composers, including Mozart, Handel, Debussy, Bach and Brahms. 

The positive effects of playing classical music to babies has long been established, but Prima Baby's resident GP Dr Rob Hicks has the following advice on why you should introduce your baby to the benefits of Beethoven and Bach:

• Classical music can help your baby get to sleep - better than TV which over-stimulates their minds
• Listening to classical music is a good baby-calming technique
• Classical music can help in the development of newborn babies and toddlers
• The 'Mozart effect' has been well-documented
• Classical music is an ideal relaxing agent for new mums
• Classical music aids development if played to babies in the womb

The Babies CD costs £8.99 and is available from all good record shops including HMV and WH Smith. If you would like more information visit www.classicfm.com/babies
