My friend gifted me a music DVD which claims to make baby sleep better. It has Spa like relaxing music inspired by classical Indian musical instruments such as Flute. Does it really help Baby sleep better when he can barely protest if he doesn't like it vs no music ?

It is proposed that music could tap into the emotional side of the brain and baby would respond to the singer’s voice and also to an instrument being played. (http://www.netmums.com/baby/sleep/relaxing-music-and-lullabies) Personally, I feel that there is no harm in playing the music for your child. Unless your baby respond negatively to it, then it is best not to play it since it is unnecessary stress on the baby. Otherwise, it may be beneficial and if it is effective in soothing your baby, you can benefit from the baby having a good rest as well! :)
