Summary
This small pilot study looks at whether a mother reading aloud to her newborn in the hospital can improve the baby's nervous system function. Researchers measured changes in vagal tone and parasympathetic response, which are linked to calmness and healthy development. Only one baby and mother participated, so results are very early and not generalizable.
