I thought I would share this tidbit for parents of premature infants.  It turns out that a soft lullaby can do more than encourage sleep.  Premature babies who are exposed to lullaby music recover faster than those who are not, and they leave the hospital two weeks earlier on average.  This is a pretty amazing result, thanks to the Kulas Foundation of Cleveland.

I always find these types of study results encouraging, because it gives parents something they can do besides administer drugs and wait.  The blurb I found on this is pretty short, but hopefully this type of research will continue to bring us nuggets of information that can really make a difference.
