Music can help regulate heart rates, respiratory rates, and oxygen saturation levels. Its calming and rhythmic properties support the regulation of autonomic functions.

Music reduces instances of apnea (pauses in breathing) and bradycardia (slowed heart rate), promoting more restful sleep.

Music can contribute to improved feeding habits, leading to better weight gain.

Music helps alleviate infant stress caused by discomfort and overstimulation.

Music offers emotional support to mothers, reducing feelings of depression and anxiety during a challenging time

Music creates opportunities for connection, enhancing the bond between parents and their infants.

Music positively impacts brain development, particularly in areas related to auditory processing and cognitive functions, stimulating neural pathways essential for language and communication.

Exposure to music, especially through lullabies and maternal singing, stimulates the auditory cortex, improving auditory processing abilities and supporting language and communication skill development

Neuroimaging studies, such as MRI, have shown that music therapy can enhance brain connectivity in preterm infants, strengthening connections between the auditory cortex and regions related to sensory and motor functions, thereby supporting cognitive function and sensory integration

Music engages neural pathways involved in emotion, memory, and motor control, providing multisensory stimulation that accelerates the maturation of neural circuits in preterm infants, contributing to overall brain development.
