Sometimes I danced around the flat to salsa music when I was pregnant. And my daughter could dance, well that's what I call it, from when she was a few months old. |

From conception to 18 months your baby is developing fast. Here are some things to watch out for - but remember every child is unique.
|
|
 |
At 20 weeks from conception your unborn baby can hear |
|
From birth your baby may be startled by sudden sound |
|
By one year your baby will discover musical beats |
|
At three months he or she may respond actively to music, for example by swaying and turning towards the sound, and may vocalise vowel sounds like aaah, eee, and ooo |
|
By six months babies start to imitate sounds |
|
By nine months they respond to familiar songs |
|
By 18 months babies start to respond to music in a coordinated way |
|
Baby's song is often recognisable |
|
|
| |

| Every child is unique and develops at his or her own pace. The information in BBC Parents' Music Room is for information and guidance only and should not be treated as a substitute for medical, legal or other professional advice. |
