First-Time Parents

You will be making many new decisions if this is your first pregnancy.  One of the most important decisions affecting both you and your baby is whether or not to breastfeed your baby.  This is a very personal decision and is influenced by many factors.  If you do decide to nurse your baby, you will want to consider using the BabyPlus Prenatal curriculum.  One of the main benefits reported by parents of children who have used BabyPlus is that their babies were proficient, early nursers.  This is so critical because it is easy to become discouraged and decide not to nurse if your baby has trouble nursing.  If your baby is a proficient nurser, you will be more relaxed and can truly enjoy the bonding that comes from nursing.  

So many companies today claim to be “family centered” but once you are hired, it’s not always so.  I have been with the BabyPlus Company for almost two months now and I can say without a doubt that this is one company that is truly family oriented.  I've been welcomed with open arms from day one and have been made to feel like part of a team.  In this short time, I have learned so much and can honestly say BabyPlus is a wonderful product.  It sure makes getting up to go to work easier when you work somewhere that honestly cares about the product as well as the people!

Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream……  How many times did you sing that as a child?  Over and over!  What about singing it in a round?  You eventually learned to distinguish the verses and could listen to them together or make them out separately.   That idea is very similar to the theory behind BabyPlus.  The two sounds, mother’s heartbeat sounds and BabyPlus, are simultaneous but the prenatal child eventually can discern that there are two different sounds.  Learning to distinguish is one of the most basic learning skills which is the foundation for baby’s development after birth.

When I was pregnant with my first son, I was fortunate enough to have my mom come with me to one of my doctor visits.  She was absolutely amazed with the ultrasound and being able to see her grandson before he was born.  That just was not done when she was pregnant with my sister, my brother and me!  Today, it is quite routine.  Prenatal care and a prenatal care curriculum are common nowadays.  In fact, now there are 3-D ultrasounds along with so many other exciting advancements since I was pregnant twelve years ago.  Experts and parents alike agree that the stages through the pregnancy are so important.  The knowledge now is that stimulation during critical periods in prenatal development is key. Every generation develops new ideas and products for pregnancy.  This generation is fortunate to have the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System!  Who knows where BabyPlus is headed? Think about when our BabyPlus babies have their own children!

Expectant mothers and pregnancy are our specialty here at BabyPlus!  Having a smart baby is great, but having a great infant sleeping schedule is (at times!) just as important

Here at the BabyPlus Company we know the prenatal development facts.  We know the importance of infant development.  We know the womb is NOT a "soundproof booth."  We know that the mother's heartbeat sounds are the only sounds a developing baby truly recognizes.

The ideas of prenatal care and a prenatal care curriculum seem to be ever growing.  The articles on prenatal development are many.  What is not disputed is the idea of baby development and baby stimulation after birth.  The amazing information for first-time parents is that learning actually begins IN THE WOMB.  We already know! 

I have recently been welcomed to the team at BabyPlus and have had the opportunity to learn so much about the benefits of infant stimulation that I had no idea about when I was pregnant with my two sons.  There is so much fascinating information available to new mothers that makes it such an exciting time to be pregnant!  I have had the opportunity in such a short time to hear the exciting feedback from happy parents all over the world as well as providing information to them.  I feel very lucky to be involved in educating new moms about the benefits of prenatal learning throughout the stages of pregnancy.  To me, I can't think of a better job!

We have often been asked by women researching expectant mothers and pregnancy whether the BabyPlus Education Prenatal System will assist in the cognitive development of twins and triplets.  The answer to this is "yes".  We have had many mothers of twins and triplets use BabyPlus.  They have all been pleased with the results and have seen the same benefits  (enhanced infant sleeping schedule, proficiency in breast feeding, self soothing ability and improved school readiness) as the mothers of single babies.

Frequently, twins and triplets are born early and the mothers of babies who were not full term have seen amazing results.  We have had mothers of premature babies report that their babies are reaching milestones based on their birth age as opposed to their gestational age.  They have also reported shorter than average hospital stays as compared to other premature babies.

Kate White, Director of HR and Operations at the Jarrett Fertility Group writes:
"Our 15 year old fraternal twin daughters, Mary Ann and Christine, were born 5 weeks premature and have thrived since birth.  They both achieved every infant and toddler milestone on time or early.  They were both early proficient readers- before the start of kindergarten.  Their learning skills and academic strengths, kindergarten through 8th grade, were superlative.  Today, they are both High Honor students in their freshman class and are both recipients of a monetary academic scholarships based on their freshman placement tests.  In addition to academics, they are both accomplished in music (singing and piano) and are both above average athletes.  They (and their little sister Julia, also a BabyPlus beneficiary) are emotionally mature for their age.  Julia has also exhibited the same developmental attributes as the twins.  We sincerely believe that the early use of the BabyPlus curriculum helped their development and will continue to help them throughout life."

I received a Warranty Card from a customer in Hong Kong who is using the BabyPlus for the second time.  She realized that the stages of fetal development are, in fact, critical times in child development. 

She commented:

"I have been happy with BabyPlus.  I used it during my pregnancy with baby #1.  He was a calm and very alert baby.  As a toddler, he is easy going, very talkative, and bright.  His favorite past time is cars, which he lines up methodically and counts.  He also loves music and can sing many tunes.

I truly think the Babyplus is  fantastic and has contributed to my son's advanced development. At the age of about 2.3 years, he knew his alphabet and numbers. He is 2.5 years and he already knows 100 and 1000s! He can spell his own name  as well as other words and colors and he carries a great tune. Most people who meet him think he is much older than his age. He is also polite and says “no thank you and yes please”. And his attention to detail is amazing. I think the baby plus was a big contributor to all of this.

I’m now pregnant with baby #2 which is due is April and I am using the babyplus. So, it will be interesting to see if the second one is just as bright and easy going as our first baby."

I am eagerly awaiting her email once this baby is born.  Hopefully, she will be able to let me know how the BabyPlus impacted her baby during the critical period in prenatal development.

Day by day, week by week, month by month. Pregnancy can be wonderful. With BabyPlus you can make it more enjoyable, even if it is your first pregnancy. The quiet time you spend using BabyPlus aids in bonding with your baby. You can also be assured that you are encouraging early brain development during pregnancy. You are doing all you can for your baby to help in developing his cognitive ability during those months when early brain development begins.

What are the most critical times in child development? Answer…… all times. I must preface with an however, the earlier the start, the better. In your first pregnancy first-time parents are never really sure what to do, and not have had the exposure as to whether or not there will be a proper infant sleeping schedule that develops down the road, or if they are going to be exhausted as first time parents.
 There are so many prenatal development facts to consider, which can be overwhelming. Are there really benefits of infant stimulation, is breast feeding beneficial to having a smart baby and infant development. As days go by and the week by week pregnancy progresses, it all begins to make sense, and then the special day comes when the little miracle is brought into this world.
Following the birth, after that day by day pregnancy is finally done, you can then begin to access what the critical times in child development are and if  you did in fact do some of the correct things during the critical period in Prenatal development. So, baby stimulation and baby development after birth may all tie directly in, but most likely begins during those critical periods in prenatal development.

Expectant mothers and overwhelmed dads, the BabyPlus prenatal care curriculum will help tremendously.
