Baby Will Not Sleep

Mother’s Day is such a special day, and it brings about so many emotions and dreams.  There are mothers around the world who wish, hope, and pray for similar things.  

Many mothers with newborns wish for more sleep, and for their baby to sleep throughout the night.  Many mothers hope their child will meet and exceed developmental milestones as they grow.  Many mothers also pray their child can achieve success in what they set out to do in life.  

What if there was a product that could be worn by mothers while their baby develops in utero?  Testimonials from mothers who used BabyPlus while pregnant demonstrate that the BabyPlus product can help with these mother wishes, hopes, and dreams.

*Very Fortunate to have learned about BabyPlus  (A. M, Tokyo)

My daughter is 2 years and 3 months now.  After I found out I was pregnant, I researched Taikyo (prenatal education) on the internet and came across BabyPlus.  It was unknown in Japan with virtually no appearance in pregnancy magazines and other media yet, but I felt like "betting" on this product.

I followed the manual strictly and gave lessons every single day without fail until the day of birth, even when I went out of town!  Knowing how challenging life will be after birth, I really wanted to give my baby the best Taikyo possible so that we can have a good start together.   However, ever since birth, I honestly can't think of a single occasion where I felt child rearing is hard....

My daughter was very strong at birth, latching on strongly, sleeping really well and gaining weight steadily.  To this day, I never had to "put her to sleep" at bedtime !!

She never gives me trouble by waking up in the middle of the night.  None of my friends with babies can believe how easy I have it! Every time they visit me, they are astounded by the fact that my daughter doesn't require anything from me to fall asleep.

At 3 months, we took a vacation for a week.  She never fussed on the 6 hour trip.  I was amazed at "how easy traveling with a baby is".  Ever since, we took many trips by planes, taking advantage of the fact that she's never  uncomfortable in new environments or meeting new people.

Terrible two is a common notion, but we have no idea what it represents.  When she passed the age 2, she had her share of assertiveness, but never fusses or has temper tantrums.  

My daughter has always been very calm and has been able to soothe and handle her own feelings quickly even if she doesn't get what she wants.  Now that we can communicate with each other, it is becoming more and more fun to be with her.  I am really enjoying her growth. 

I feel very grateful I encountered BabyPlus and accomplished the great Taikyo using BabyPlus.  BabyPlus gave my daughter a very special treasure she can cherish for the rest of her life. 

Thank you and Bravo, BabyPlus!!

 

Internationally known super-model and BabyPlus mom, Niki Taylor, proudly participated in March of Dimes' March for Babies to help raise awareness and critical funds for healthier, stronger babies.

Taylor joined the March of Dimes in kicking off the walk in at Tropical Park in Miami, FL on the morning of Saturday, April 28^th.  The walk was close to the area where Taylor grew up.  She’s such a great mom and involved citizen. 

Herself a mother to a five month old son, a three year old daughter, and two very handsome 17 year old twin boys, Taylor connects with the cause and the need for people to sign up for the walk and fundraise. “I am proud to bring my own young ones out to be part of this event. Together we will walk for healthier babies, and for those born too soon and need our help.”   Taylor truly seems to care about the health and well-being of children.

Last fall Niki appeared on the hit TV show, The Doctors, discussing her favorite things for pregnancy and healthy living.  She mentioned The BabyPlus Prenatal Education System as one of her must have pregnancy items.  Taylor touted the benefits of using the system during her two most recent pregnancies. She said her daughter began good sleeping patterns early and was alert and calm from birth.  It’s terrific to see such a progressive mom who is educated on the important connection between early brain development and auditory stimulation. 

Babies born prematurely (before 37 weeks gestation) may be at risk for developmental problems that could persist throughout their lives, including problems with auditory attention, or the child’s ability to concentrate on and listen to sounds for an extended period of time, especially in a distracted environment.

An important study regarding prematurity was conducted by Emily Zimmerman, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Amir Lahav, ScD, PhD, focused on how premature infants respond to various sounds. The study may have the long-term potential to determine whether there is an early biomarker for ADHD, which typically isn’t detected until school age.  “Our findings show that there may be a window of opportunity to improve the physiological health of babies born prematurely using auditory simulation,” he said.

The research linked exposure to an audio recording of the mother’s heartbeat and her voice to a lower incidence of cardio-respiratory events in preterm infants. These infants typically experience high rates of adverse heart and lung events, such as apnea, a pause in breathing that lasts longer than 20 seconds, and bradycardia, slowing of the heart rate below 80 beats per minute. Researchers found that cardio-respiratory events occurred at a much lower frequency when the infants were exposed to maternal sound stimulation versus routine hospital noise and sounds.

“The results also suggest that there is a period of time when the infant’s auditory development is most intact that this intervention of maternal sound stimulation could be most effective,” Lahav said. “However, further research is needed.”

Once they share the news with loved ones and friends, they are sure to read articles on prenatal development.  Most expectant parents want to know everything they can about the critical period in prenatal development.  Using the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System during pregnancy promotes learning in the womb.

Anna and Stephen lead busy lives, so they will likely be interested to know the benefits of using BabyPlus.  Parents report that BabyPlus babies more readily nurse, have an increased ability to self-soothe, are more interactive and responsive, and are relaxed and alert at birth.  Being a busy working parents, Anna and Stephen will want to know about the BabyPlus curriculum and how the mother's heartbeat sounds have a positive impact on infant sleeping schedules.

BabyPlus congratulates Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer on their baby-to-be!

If you’re an expectant parent interested in prenatal brain development, then this will be one of the most important articles you’ll ever read.

Here’s why…  I’m going to share with you the fascinating link between providing an enriched auditory environment during your pregnancy and the significantly enhanced development of your child’s mind.

From the moment we see a positive result on a pregnancy test; we begin to navigate the complicated world of being a parent. Almost immediately, the barrage of advertising messages and opinions from well-meaning friends and family can often cause confusion about what is best for our baby.   I am doing what I did throughout my first two pregnancies; getting educated about what will make a difference and then going with my gut!  Pregnancy (though it seems to drag on forever) is a relatively short period in your baby’s long life of learning and development.  Take the time to look at the latest research about early cognition and prenatal brain development. 

We know so much more now about prenatal brain development than ever before.  It’s really exciting to be armed with powerful information about things like DHA and the importance of an enriched prenatal auditory environment.  No matter how you choose to communicate with your baby, after week 18 he’ll be listening and likely hungry for more.  Babies with an enriched nurturing auditory environment often show an increased ability to self-soothe and are more responsive at birth.  Later, parents of these same children report to have improved school readiness and longer attention spans.   

Fetal Brain Development

Experience is an essential component of prenatal brain development.   A prenatal child's specific experiences determine which connections are strengthened and expanded, and which connections are eliminated. 

• Connections that are used repeatedly become stronger. 
• Connections that are not used are eventually lost to pruning. 
• Repetition is important because it provides the child with multiple opportunities to strengthen connections and enhance prenatal brain development.

It also is important that experiences be enriching. A prenatal child should have regular opportunities to experience sounds that are new and different. These experiences should be challenging, but not overwhelming, just a step beyond what he can already do.  Your womb truly is the perfect classroom! A developmentally appropriate set of sounds that introduce patterns of rhythm to the baby similar to the maternal heartbeat are most likely to make the biggest impact on his/her prenatal brain development...  As a baby discriminates the simple rhythmic sounds from those of his mother, auditory learning begins.

The human brain begins forming very early in prenatal life (just three weeks after conception), but in many ways, brain development is a lifelong project. That is because the same events that shape the brain during development are also responsible for storing information—new skills and memories—throughout life. The major difference between prenatal brain development in the womb versus learning at a later age is a matter of degree: the brain is far more impressionable (neuroscientists use the term plastic) in early life than in maturity. This plasticity has both a positive and a negative side. On the positive side, it means that young children's brains are more open to learning and enriching influences.

Bilingualism in Babies Starts in the Womb

A recent joint study from Canadian and French researchers finds infants born to bilingual mother’s exhibit different language preferences than infants born to moms who speak only one language.  Bilingualism has been linked to a variety of positive cognitive benefits, including early ready, better critical think skills and longer attention spans.  Now we know what the baby experiences in his prenatal environment truly matters to the prenatal brain development in this small window of opportunity.  The study was published in the January 29, 2010, journal  Psychological Science.  Many expectant parents are not bilingual or have a preference for only one language thus never exposing baby to this important auditory enrichment.  The one consistently heard sound in the prenatal environment 24 hours 7 days a week is the mom’s heart beat.  Based on more than 23 years of scientific research the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System provides a patented curriculum that introduces a developing baby to learning in the only true and consistent language of the prenatal environment, a language based on the maternal heartbeat.  Studies show that a fetus does recognize the maternal heartbeat and can differentiate progressive versions of that sound.  Much like early language immersion, the simple, naturally derived lessons are the most effective at strengthening a lifetime of strong learning.  This early advantage during prenatal brain development means children will be able to absorb and appreciate far more of their environment than if they had not received this prenatal enrichment.  This might also be a fabulous time to turn your car into a “university on wheels” and begin a language course.  I am a big fan of Rosetta stone but there are many great options on the market. 

When it comes to IQ  - environment matters

You have probably heard the phrase nature versus nurture. It tends to pop up whenever we gain some new insight into prenatal brain development. Has some aspect of personality or intelligence come about as a result of genes and part of our inborn nature? Or because of the influence of parents, teachers, or other aspects of the environment that nurtured us?  The answer is both. 

In a study published in 2008 UCLA researchers found about 85 percent of the variation in white matter in the parietal lobe, which is involved in mathematics, logic, and visual-spatial skills, can be attributed to genetics. Only about 45 percent of the variation in the temporal lobe, which plays a central role in learning and memory, appears to be inherited.  This is the same part of the brain most impacted by an enriched auditory environment early in prenatal brain development.  Being armed with this knowledge is empowering to expectant parents all over the world.  A well-organized brain has well-functioning myelin, in which water can be seen clearly moving along specific paths. "Diffusion imaging gives a picture of how intact your brain connections are," says Paul Thompson, a neuroscientist at the University of California, Los Angeles, who lead the study. 

Fetal Response to outside stimuli

Another important study came from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Hua Chiew Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand.  The study focused on the fetal response to outside stimuli and assessed the capacity of the fetus’ memory and learning in various senses.  Researchers trained 120 pregnant mothers to practice the prenatal activity of auditory enrichment.  They used a heartbeat sound, music and rhythmic patting and rocking. The below results provide further reinforcement that giving baby an enriched auditory environment before birth really can make a difference in prenatal brain development:

 The clinical data and the evaluation sheet for analysis of fetal response and learning to prenatal activity were assessed in term of always, frequent, sometime, seldom and never response. The outcome of these samples demonstrated that 87.5% of experimental infants can recognize maternal voice and 70% recognize to prenatal music. They calm down significantly when giving a prenatal music, heart beat sound, rhythmic patting and rocking pattern which they ever received during in utero. This suggests that fetus can learn variety of sensory stimuli even before birth and these previous experiences they received in utero during this important prenatal brain development period may influence postnatal learning and perception. Experimental infants have a capacity of turning to voice only at 4.6 days in average while the general population turn to voice at 3.2 month. This means that they have a faster auditory development and learning than general population. In addition, they can be conditioned by kicking back when they were pat in 64.9%. The results confirm our belief that fetus have a capacity of conditional learning during the prenatal brain development stage. The study also showed better performance in relation between mother and child after participated the prenatal activity. These findings suggest that prenatal activity here may be introduced to routine prenatal care and may be an effective way to enhance mother and child attachment, as well as promote infant's intelligent and emotional development.

Dr. Susan Ludington-Hoe states in her book How to Have a Smarter Baby, “Infant stimulation accelerates a baby’s mental ability and increases a child’s skills in finding ways to stimulate himself.”

More evidence prenatal brain development can be impacted by environment

In a study designed to create an enriched environment for prenates by minimizing environmental stressors and substituting a positive, stimulating milieu, researchers designed a program that would reduce maternal stress with visualization and relaxation exercises, encourage mother-child bonding through prenatal communication and interaction exercises, and pleasantly stimulate prenatal auditory, tactile, visual and vestibular processes. Results from 150 pregnant women in the enrichment program compared to 100 pregnant women in a control group showed that infant head circumference, as an analog of prenatal brain development in the enriched group was significantly larger than that of the control group. Moreover, most dimensions on the Denver assessment scales showed earlier acquisition of gross and fine motor skills, language, and personal-social development by the enriched group compared to sample norms of Bangkok children.  Dr. Panthuraamphorn's research in creating positive and stimulating prenatal environments spans a number of studies with colleagues Dawiep Dookchitra and Manit Sanmaneechai who were co-researchers in a 1995 study focusing on auditory stimulation

DHA in Pregnancy: Should you Supplement?

DHA (or docosahexaenoic acid) an omega-3 fatty acid found in fish oil helps build your baby’s brain, nervous system, and eyes.  “Omega -3s are a specific type of fate that our body needs but cannot make,” says Melinda Johnson, RD, a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association.  A baby in utero needs to get these fats from its mother for better prenatal brain development.  Researchers at the School of Pediatrics and Child Health at the University of Western Australia found that two years after birth, the children whose mothers had received a high dose of fish oil in the 2^nd half of pregnancy, one of the important stages in prenatal brain development, had higher scores in tests of their hand-eye coordination.  Another interesting study from the University of Oslo in Norway, found four year olds scored better on IQ tests if their mothers took DHA supplements during pregnancy.  .

How much DHA do you need?

Your brain is made up of about 60% omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oil. And your baby's brain is about 70% of these acids. But studies show, you're probably deficient in them. In fact, most Westerners don't get enough of these important nutrients. According to the Journal of Perinatal Medicine, pregnant or lactating women need 200 mg of DHA a day.  Researchers are still evaluating the best possible sources for DHA.  Readily available sources are salmon, sardines, walnuts, eggs and milk.  If you would rather take a DHA supplement many researchers suggest you go for the one derived from algae rather than fish oil. (Then you will be getting your DHA just as the fish do; their source is marine algae.) Look for high levels of DHA. This is the "building block" of your child's prenatal brain development and is found in omega 3 fatty acids. Nevertheless, not all fish oil blends have a high amount of this important nutrient. The bottle will tell you how much DHA is in the product. Remember always consult with your obstetrician before making any changes to your prenatal routine. 

Prenatal auditory enrichment and DHA -  a winning combination for prenatal brain development

Prenatal learning and auditory enrichment is as vital to prenatal brain development as a prenatal vitamin is to enriching a baby’s physical development.  The BabyPlus Prenatal Education System offers developmental benefits that last a lifetime.  Moms everywhere are singing the praises of this prenatal system.  Celebrity moms like Nicole Richie and Gwen Stefani, just to name a few, have worn BabyPlus Prenatal Systems during pregnancy.  It is universal when a mom finds something that works for her she tells all of her friends.  It is the one thing women from every corner of the world have in common; we all want what is best for our children.  The BabyPlus Prenatal Education System is the only product of its kind on the market.   The system offers parents the opportunity to give their baby a head start while at the same time bonding with baby in a meaningful way.

 

A recent survey shows BabyPlus babies reach cognitive and developmental milestones ahead of recorded averages.  A survey of more than 350 BabyPlus parents indicates the majority of BabyPlus babies are calm and alert at birth. The survey also shows babies of parents, who used the BabyPlus educational system during pregnancy, sleep through the night, say their first words and take their first steps earlier than recorded averages for those milestones. In this first formal survey of BabyPlus parents, 84 percent of respondents said their baby was calm at birth and 96 percent said their baby was alert at birth.  In reaching their earliest developmental milestones, 68 percent of respondents said their children were sleeping more than six ours in a row by the age of three months compared to a four month average for infants; 48 percent reported their child said their first word by the age of six months compared to an average age of nine months; and 76 percent said their children took first steps before the age of 12 months compared to the a 12-15 month average.  In addition 98 percent of respondents described their baby as having an overall good disposition.   

 

 

 

You might have seen the love that Target shoppers are giving us, but did you know that Amazon shoppers are also showing their support for BabyPlus. Out of 140 different user reviews, BabyPlus has received 4 out of 5 stars! This is incredible and we want to share what these BabyPlus moms and dads are saying about using the system. 

Here's a few reviews for you to feast your eyes on:

Our son is almost 2 year old. When we got baby plus years ago we purchased it knowing we would use exactly as described. Meaning following the directions to the T. My wife did not miss any sessions and used it religiousely. We used it as soon as we could while she was pregnant. The end result is one super happy, polite and sweet baby. Seriousely. Our son is always happy, rarely throws tantrums even though he is approaching two and is very polite. He is not hyperactive. He loves to have fun, but can be perfectly content sitting down reading a book by himself. Maybe baby plus had nothing to do with how he is...we will never know. But I would reocmmend any pregnant female to pay the $$ and use this ASAP. Think of it as an investement in your baby's future...Read the rest on Amazon.com.

We were recommended BabyPlus by a colleague of my husband's who also works in neurobiology. We thought we would give it a shot and after plenty of teasing (+20wks) from family members, our son was born after a prolonged labor and c-section. The OBGYN commented on how alert and calm he was as she was bringing him into this world. 18 hours later, the vice president of the local medical school visited and made the comment that he was the most alert newborn he had seen and appeared shocked! Both of these opinions were reassuring of our choice to use BabyPlus, but the real pleasure is a child that is calm, sleeps well, nurses well and is alert and reaching developmental goals at an accelerated speed. In our experience, BabyPlus worked and we are very satisfied. After reading some of the negative reviews, I wanted to point out to people who may be worried about the volume of the device damaging their child's hearing- your baby's cry will easily be 100+dB once he is born. A sound that is 50-60dB once it reaches your child in utero cannot damage their hearing. It may sound loud to you, but once it passes through tissue and fluid, the sound is considerably lower in volume...Read the rest on Amazon.com.

Did you know that BabyPlus is sold at Target? It looks like we're very popular because they're currently sold out online. Don't fret, you can buy BabyPlus on our website! Target shoppers are giving us 5 stars and here's why:

A Mom's Perspective:

I have used BabyPlus with all 4 of my children. I consider it to be as important as a prenatal vitamin. Right now, my 6 week old is sleeping through the night (meaning 9 hours). Who wouldn't want that? I can truly say that I have seen the benefits of BabyPlus first hand. My babies are happy and awesome sleepers and nappers. It is a great way to give your baby a start in life.

A Dad's Review:

My wife used BabyPlus for roughly the last 16 weeks of her pregnancy. On our first doctor's visit both the nurse and doctor commented on how alert our baby was. They both mentioned that at only a few days old she was as alert as a baby who was 3 or 4 weeks old. We have noticed that our baby is very alert, focuses a lot of attention on us, follows us with her eyes as we move around, and looks at us as though she is really studying us. Overall BabyPlus is a really cool gaget that has shown some i mmediate results for a baby who is less than 2 months old.

See more reviews on Target's website. 

We are back from CES 2012, and we were very excited to see that BabyPlus created quite a bit of excitement there!

We spoke to many, many (many!) people about the benefits of this patented prenatal education system.  Parents to be want a baby who sleeps well, eats well and reaches pediatric milestones well.  BabyPlus parents consistently tell us that their babies show these characteristics and more!

We have been blogged about on a tech website called Binary Wasteland.  Click on the Binary Wasteland logo to read the full blog about the author's experience at CES!

We are happy to bring you yet another testimonial from our Facebook page. Parents all over the world are bragging about what BabyPlus has done for their little ones. Here's a testimonial from one of our most loyal fans, Dawn:

"Ms. Lily is officially two weeks old today :-) Our Second Baby Plus Baby in our Family... So far when she is awake, she is already tying to hold her head up, fully alert & smiling. She also doesn't mind tummy time, nurses up to 4 ounces and is sleeping 4 and a half hours between feedings (which means at night she eats at 11pm, 3:30am and 7:30am- dropping one of her night feeding last week...yay). Thank you BabyPlus!"

Don't believe us, then see what other real parents have to say.

You might read a few BabyPlus testimonials on our blog or website, but what you might not see are the hundreds of BabyPlus parents interacting on our Facebook page everyday. Hear about their pregnancy and BabyPlus stories. They are happy to share their thoughts and experiences with you. Here are a postings that parents left on our wall this past week:

Congrats to the expecting moms! I used BabyPlus with both of my babies (my daughter is 28 months this month and my son will be 5 months in a few days)...they are both wonderful sleepers, great at nursing and can self-soothe fairly well. Good luck to you both!!

You'll love BabyPlus. I am in my second pregnancy, she is due Nov 22. I used BabyPlus with both of my daughters. My BabyPlus toddler was an amazing sleeper, great eater, she easily self-soothed and wasn't nearly as fussy & needy as I have seen her friends be. When she entered Pre-K2 last year they moved her up to Pre-K3....Wait till you see the difference!

I have used BabyPlus for both of my children. My daughter is 28 months and my son is 5 months. Both have excellent hearing. As a matter of fact, my daughter, can hear so well that she tells me when an alarm might be going off, that I can't even hear. (I have an alarm that I can't seem to fix so I have the volume very low...she hears it in our back room while we are in the living room!). My son is so attuned to sounds that he will move his head so quickly just to try to find out where the sound is coming from! And, as far as sleep...well, honestly, I thank BabyPlus for how wonderful my children sleep. My daughter has slept through the night (11-12 hours) since 4 months and my son sleeps 10-11 hours through the night since the start of his fourth month. They are both regular nappers and do quite well falling asleep on their own. My daughter is more self-soothing than my son, however, my son still self-soothes, just like my daughter. He is still pretty quick though to put himself to sleep once he realizes he isn't going to be picked up. I have recommended BabyPlus to several of my family and friends and those who have used it, have nothing but positive reviews. I would recommend this product to you and anyone else who wants to give their children a great head start in life, even before they are born! Good luck to you!

I used BabyPlus with my first pregnancy and my son was born at 32 weeks, the day he was born (even though early) he was able to lift and turn his head from side to side from his belly in the incubator. He is now almost 4 and is very smart plus he has a great since of direction.

World-famous supermodel and mother of four Niki Taylor joins The Doctors to share health tricks for moms on the go!

After Niki talked about a very healthy smoothie - she talked about using BabyPlus.  Niki used BabyPlus with her daughter Ciel and saw great benefits - such as these (in her own words!):

"She is so alert, saying full sentences, got on a sleeping pattern very early at 8 months - her first word was apple."


Niki is expecting again and is using BabyPlus because she knows that the 16 lessons based on the mother's heartbeat help during brain development. 

Congratulations to Niki for doing the very best for her babies!

You might have seen last week's blog that talked about the BabyPlus testimonies people send us on a regular basis. We have another one to share from one of our amazing BabyPlus mommas:

"Before I purchased BabyPlus that is what I did as well. I was amazed at what everyone said. My cousin actually gave us BabyPlus then as a baby present and I often say it is the best present we ever got :) (video monitor too) hehe I am still amazed at what I witness with my daughter and she is now 3 years old. The doctors and nurses were amazed with our daughter in the hospital and each doctor check up our doctor couldn't believe we had such a well rounded baby...sleeping habits, talking, alertness, etc. I totally believe in BabyPlus and still enjoy seeing the benefits today with my toddler daughter!"

We like the article titled "The Parenting Corner: Top 10 Ways to Keep Baby Safe" on the patch.com. written by Heather Kempskie.

We all know baby safety comes first, and most of us think we know how to keep baby safe.  However, here is a comprehensive list:

1.    Follow car safety rules.
2.    Buy new baby equipment.
3.    Make sure baby is in a safe place if not being held.
4.    Use safety gates.
5.    Examine your home from a baby’s point of view.
6.    Don't try to cook while holding a baby.
7.    Keep small stuff put away.
8.    Create a safe sleeping environment for baby.
9.    Visit pediatrician for well baby visits.
10.  Buckle up (not just in car seats - also in strollers, swings and other moveable playthings).

Did any of these surprise you?  Cooking was the one that caught my attention - but it makes so much sense! 

Are there any other ways to keep baby safe that are not on this list?

After all, what parent wouldn't want a baby who nurses well and has great sleep habits?????

BabyPlus wishes Beyonce, Jay Z and their baby the very best!

Email from a mom who knows first-hand that BabyPlus makes a better sleeping baby:

"I just wanted to thank you so much for BabyPlus.  I think it made a huge difference in how my daughter sleeps compared to my other 2 daughters. She is such a mellow, easy going, and happy baby!  

I always recommend BabyPlus now to friends and have passed it along to my cousin who is due in September.  I wish I would have known about BabyPlus before.  Thanks again for a great product.   My daughter  thanks you too :)"

Here at BabyPlus, we know that using our system during cognitive development - meaning while you are pregnant - will help strengthen your baby's mind for a lifetime of learning.  We also know the reported benefits of babies who self-soothe and reach developmental milestones earlier.

Give your baby BabyPlus and the gift of learning for a lifetime! (and - more sleep for you!)

All parents hope for a baby who is a great sleeper.  As a new parent, a good night's sleep can be hard to achieve.  However, your baby could be sleeping longer periods once born just by using this simple set of sounds during the prenatal period.

Most expectant parents prepare for the basics of caring for a new baby, but did you know that a better sleeping baby is one of the tangible benefits of using the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System?

You may be able to do something about your baby's sleep habits right now - during the time of fetal development. Parents of BabyPlus babies consistently report that their babies sleep very well from the beginning.

Do something NOW - while you are pregnant - to help you baby sleep better LATER!


Happy zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's from BabyPlus!
