A premature baby listening to the music of child genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
            
The research, by Israeli doctors, suggests 30 minutes of Mozart a day helps put on the pounds - which if you're a premature baby is all you need to do. 
           
Doctor Ronit Lubetzky said listening to Mozart relaxes the infants - and when they use less energy, they gain weight faster.
             
[Dr. Ronit Lubetszky, Pediatrics Head, DAna Hospital, Tel Aviv Medical Center]:        
"Now we have it, you know, as a real number showing that he spends less energy, he listens to music a few times a day, he can gain weight faster and then he's going to be discharged earlier, less exposed to complications of the hospitalization which is a serious issue in premature infants." 
           
In Kfar Saba, the neonatal unit has taken the theory a step without research. According to the team here - the benefits of live music are a given.   
         
[Dr. Shmuel Arnon, Deptuy HEad, Neo-natal ISC Unit, Meir Medical]:           
"Even if we will not know exactly what the mechanism, we can see very obviously that when you play them, when they hear music, they become more relaxed, they sleep much better, the mother is much happier and that is very important to stress."
            
The next step will be to test whether it is exclusively the music of the child prodigy that has such a therapeutic effect on the premature.
