My son is is less than a week shy of 6 months old is a great baby. He rarely cries and is overall very laid back. However, starting at around 4 months he became scared of low singing. If I hum to him and sing higher, he's fine and enjoys is when I put lotion on him. He stil does. Also, I played the piano for him when he was in the belly has well and would get and get excited. Recently though when anyone sings to him in a lower pitched voice, he makes a really sad face and begins crying very hard. I used to play the piano for him when he was born and he would fall asleep. Now when I play, he bawls and won't stop crying. (Please don't be rude and say maybe you play bad...I've been playing for 10 years and that's not the case) Tonight my mom tried disctracting him while I played to make sure that's what it was and he was straining his neck to look over at the piano and begin crying. Both his father and I are musicians and I'm extremely sad that he's scared of music/singing.

Why would this be?
The ONLY thing I could come up with is that I had gotten many ultrasounds during pregnancy because I had diabetes in the early pregnancy (and still do/type 1) and they thought he would be born with a problem so they kept a close eye on him during my pregnancy to make sure he was growing, didn't have spinibifida or any heart defects. Well, I'm thinking that when I got ultrasounds the ultrasound wand let off a low sound emmision and maybe it reminds him of that and he didn't like it? I can't help but feel helpless and guilty. Does anyone else have a baby scared of the same thing? What should I do? I don't want him to hate music. It's going to always be around him since we are musicians.

It may just be something he doesn't like right now. I had so many ultrasounds that I lost count, because my son has spina bifida, and he doesn't seem to mind low noises. He's terrified of the hair dryer, but loves the vacuum. Maybe try him in a sling, carrier, or when he can sit on your lap and play the piano with him right there. I play the piano, and I sing to my son all the time. He sits on my lap and tries to play and sing along with me.

For what it's worth, I had three ultrasounds. My husband plays the piano and sings, and our daughter enjoys is.
I think all babies have their bugaboos, though, just like adults. Since birth, my daughter has freaked out whenever I "blow raspberries" at her.
I can put my lips on her and blow and make a hell of a noise "playing the babyphone," and that gets squeals of delight. But if I do it in the air, forget it.
At first she would do a big Moro reflex and once burst into tears, making me feel like snot. Now I do it gently, and I get wide O!M!G! eyes and that's it. I stop quickly and make with the smiles.
Cut out the piano and singing for a little while, and then slowly go back to them -- gently, with big smiles and cuddles.

I honestly don't think anything serious is wrong but maybe a trip to the doctor is in order just to make you feel better. Having said that, some sounds just bother babies. With my oldest it was the sound of the kitchen mixer. He screamed every time I turned it on. my second daughter didn't like Male voices at all! till she was about a year old. She cried everyone who was male even talked to her. It was actually kinda funny :) not to her daddy though lol. Maybe it is something as simple as that. I know I don't like high voices, even if they are good ones they just annoy me. Everyone has there thing so its probably nothing serious. Congrats on your baby!

Sorry about all the rude answers you're getting. some people can be so ignorant.
It is common for babies to develop a temporary "fear" of something they used to enjoy. For my daughter, it was machine noises (vacuum, blender, car engine) and she grew out of it. I doubt that the ultrasounds harmed your baby, but go ahead and ask your doctor just to make sure.
Also your baby may be in a clingy stage and resents the piano for separating you from him. Can you play with him in a carrier, or with someone holding him close beside you? A few minutes a day may help him get over it. Good luck!

Erasing all the bull crap in your letter which has no baring on the subject at hand. You said "I feel like God is teaching me new things again and he wants me to serve him again." You need to be drawn to Christ. John 6:44 44No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. As for the lesbian relationship.. If you are truly Christian.. You may want to think about this. The following is relative to all man kind not just men. Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. Being gay may not be your fault, like being born blind.... But it is something you need to understand. Example: God allows for a person to be born blind.... The blind person believes he was shortchanged by God... But in Gods eyes, the blind person is free from one of the major sins... Lusts of the eyes. So he wasn't shortchanged, he was given a gift. If you are Gay, you have been given a gift.. You are not lusting after the flesh of men. Control your desires for other women. Be a Christian, and Gay. just don't lie with another woman..

I think you have the next Simon Cowell from American Idol. He's critiquing your singing and playing and I'm afraid you're next to get voted out.
