Re: When can baby actually hear you?
I found this in an article I was reading:
Researchers in Belfast have demonstrated that reactive listening begins at 16 weeks g.a., two months sooner than other types of measurements indicated. Working with 400 fetuses, researchers in Belfast beamed a pure pulse sound at 250-500 Hz and found behavioral responses at 16 weeks g.a.--clearly seen via ultrasound (Shahidullah and Hepper, 1992). This is especially significant because reactive listening begins eight weeks before the ear is structurally complete at about 24 weeks.

between 16-20 weeks. it depends, some earlier, some later. I also read recently that they can open their eyes earlier than previously thought (originally thought 24+ weeks) but now they are saying 16+ weeks. They cant see yet but its the blinking reflex at work
