Why do they want to hear the same song again? And again? And… again?
If you’ve ever found yourself singing Wheels on the Bus on repeat or reading the same story for the tenth time today, you’re not alone.
Babies love repetition - and while it might feel a little (okay, a lot) relentless, there’s a reason for it.
The Power of Repetition in Baby’s Brain
Every time your baby hears or does something again, their brain is busy strengthening connections. It might seem like they’re just enjoying the moment, but really, they’re learning too!
✔ Memory – Doing something over and over helps them remember it.
✔ Understanding – They start to connect the dots and make sense of what’s happening.
✔ Predicting – They get to know what’s coming next and that’s exciting!
Repetition isn’t just a phase - it’s a crucial part of how babies process the world.
