When the baby kicks when you play it music...

[VerityClinch]

...does this mean the baby likes it, or hates it?

Baby is currently kicking up a storm to certain specific songs on my baby play list ("hit me baby one more time", "push it" etc are getting real whacks, but "too busy thinking 'bout my baby" and "I got you babe" are not getting a reaction at all).

I do not know if I should read too much into this, but it's not a co-incidence, it's the same songs each time that set off the kicking.

And yes, I do know it's sad to have made a playlist of songs with the word baby in, but I had a lot of time on my hands this week.

I love that your baby already has its own playlist

I always assumed the kicks were intended as appreciation, but can't see how anyone could know! I was a bit concerned about my firstborn actually as she seemed to have a penchant for Hanson, but it hasn't been a problem since. She's keener on the Proclaimers now.

It's actually to do with the bass notes - babies hear these better than anything and so react more.

DD was a real sod for liking Pink Floyd (DH likes, I loathe) in utero and would go nuts. She still likes them actually and from early on would start singing (of sorts) along.

Both my boys kicked away like crazy to certain songs/artists inside - and when they came out and I put those songs on, they'd stop crying and listen so I chose to believe they liked the music!

Bass notes would be right - well, it would explain why the "dug dug dug dug" bit at the start of Britney causes all the commotion...
