Reading? Singing? Talking?

[goldlion]

Hey ladies!

I was just wondering if any of you know when it is best to start reading and singing and such to the baby. I've read that there were studies performed on babies where the mothers read them specific stories in the womb, and once they were born the stories that were familiar to them made them suck harder on their suss (not sure what you call it, lol). I'd love to start doing this, but I'm not sure when it is that babies can hear it. Any help?

15 -17 weeks the baby starts to actively hear things from outside your womb.. they might even start to respond to selective things..
