BabyPlus

According to an article by David K. James, School of Human Development, University of Nottingham, Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham, UK:

"Learning is defined as a change in behavior that occurs as a result of experience. It is clear that the fetus can learn by means of habituation, classical conditioning and exposure learning."

This is a fascinating article about the importance of learning during the fetal period.  To read the complete article, please click on the Wiley Interscience logo.

Is there that much of a difference between playing music and using BabyPlus?  Absolutely!

While appropriate for infants and young children, music is too complex for a developing baby.  BabyPlus simplifies the complexity of music and breaks it down to a "language" your baby can understand--a single beat.  By introducing BabyPlus, a sound relative to your baby's environment, the foundation for learning begins during the most important stages of fetal development.

There is no doubt that after your baby is born, music is a wonderful tool.  Start out simple and then once your baby is born, you can work up to building an appreciation for music. 

Don't leave your baby's future to luck or chance!

Using the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System while you are pregnant means using 16 Lessons based on a mother's heartbeat to encourage learning in the womb.  A critical time in child development is actually during the stages of fetal development.  

Use the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System during your pregnancy and you will notice very tangible results during infancy, into the toddler years, into schooling years, and throughout the lifetime of your child.

97% of parents who used BabyPlus during pregnancy would recommend our curriculum to a friend.

Many years ago, pregnant women just did what was natural with little thought to nutrition or outside influences.  When prenatal vitamins were first suggested, I'm sure that women were thinking that it was a fad, a scam or a money making scheme.  Doctors didn't know about how folic acid impacted a developing baby.  Now we know how essential it is during pregnancy and what birth defects it can prevent.  However, I should point out that folic acid does not guarantee the prevention of birth defects but increases the odds they will prevented.

Today, taking a prenatal vitamin isn't given a second thought and is strongly encouraged for many reasons learned over the years.  Why wouldn't using a prenatal curriculum be the same?  We are learning more and more about the prenatal environment every day.

It is safe to assume that influencing a baby's cognitive development during fetal stages can be one such factor.  The realization that learning in the womb actually takes place and that learning begins before birth is giving way to prenatal education in mainstream ideas.

The brain is a complex organ and scientists only know a fraction about it and its functions.  To push aside an idea is a little premature.  Using a prenatal curriculum during pregnancy has so many great benefits.  BabyPlus doesn't guarantee a genius baby, a perfect sleeper or a highly gifted child, but it does increase the odds of strengthening the cognitive blueprint.

A lot of focus goes into pregnancy like what to eat or drink.  A lot of focus also goes into after the baby is born like names or choosing whether or not to breastfeed.  But what about focusing on positively influencing the womb environment during development?

So many different things happen during the stages of fetal development, and so many factors can affect development that it is natural to want to have only positive actions during such a critical time. 

As a mom, you want to do everything to protect your children from negative influences.  So what better way to positively influence your baby than to introduce an element that is already present in the womb during development--your heartbeat. 

BabyPlus is a simple set of sounds similar to the mother's heartbeat, which is a constant element in the womb.  By stimulating learning during the important stages of fetal development, a foundation for learning throughout life is reinforced--and what could be more positive than that?

Parents of BabyPlus babies report better sleeping, nursing, self soothing, and school readiness.

We have also had many mothers of twins and triplets use the system and have been very pleased with the results.  They have seen the same benefits as the mothers of single babies as well as reported reaching milestones based on birth age as opposed to gestational age.  They have also reported shorter hospital stays when compared to other premature babies.  

Calculate your lesson plan as normal using the chart provided with your BabyPlus.  Since most births of multiples do not go full term, we will be happy to re-calculate your lesson plan once you reach about seven months of pregnancy and have a better idea of when you will deliver.  Please email customerservice@babyplus.com with any questions or with help calculating your usage schedule. 

Once your babies become more active as you grow, some discomfort may be experienced.  Simply limit the duration of each session to once a day and even shorten your lessons if desired.  Your little ones will receive the same great benefits of BabyPlus!

BabyPlus - this mom-to-be is due any day, and she has been using BabyPlus during her pregnancy...  

The BabyPlus curriculum is a series of 16 naturally derived sounds that resemble a mother's heartbeat. The rhythm of the sounds increases incrementally as the pregnancy progresses. The BabyPlus lessons introduce your child to a sequential learning process, built upon the natural rhythms of their own environment.

The importance of this prenatal "break through" is the impact on cognitive development.  Much like a prenatal vitamin impacts physical development, the BabyPlus lessons impact cognitive development.

We sat down with Jess, a BabyPlus mom, who is one week away from delivering her baby girl!  She was nice enough to answer a few questions for us. 

1.  What is your favorite part about using BabyPlus?
I liked the idea of knowing I was doing something to help my growing baby.  I have been trying to eat healthy, take vitamins, excercise, etc to ensure our baby is as healthy as possible, so using BabyPlus seemed to fit right inline with these other health measures.Yes, although I haven't had my little one yet, it seems like a great system to use to help educate your baby.
I know that these caring women are always helpful and quick to get questions answered, but I didn't have to worry about calling into BabyPlus because everything was so easy to use/understand.  What a great product!
Definitely, check out their blog and website for more information, I found good information by looking at both of these sites.

Dear little one,

I am 18 weeks pregnant today and cannot believe we're almost halfway to meeting each other! 

I've done everything I know to give you the best start in life.  I have eaten well, taken prenatal vitamins,  exercised and have made sure I make time every day to relax.  I was looking through a pregnancy magazine at the doctor's office and saw an advertisement for The BabyPlus Prenatal Education System.  Of course, I was intrigued.  When I went home, I went online to www.babyplus.com and did a little research.  Wow!  There was a lot of great information and testimonials from other parents who used it with their babies and have seen wonderful results!  There were so many common benefits like their babies being self soothing, more adaptable and hitting their developmental milestones early. 

I also read how it works and it made total sense to me!  Basically, BabyPlus is the simplest form of sound--a single beat.  This encourages and strengthens the foundation of learning during the most important stages of your development.  After all, you hear my heartbeat 24 hours a day and the sound is relevant to your environment.  It makes complete sense to me and I can't wait to begin using it!

I think the most exciting part is knowing that I am giving you a wonderful gift before you are even born!

Love,

Your Mommy

"I am a labor/delivery nurse in Billings MT. I have five married children.  I was introduced to BabyPlus at the AWHONN Leadership Conference in 2008.  I spoke to a BabyPlus representative, pondering whether BabyPlus would help my pregnant daughter, who had such severe hyperemesis she was asking "what is the earliest I can have this baby and it survive?"  BabyPlus helped my daughter refocus on her baby, and she used the monitor daily as instructed.  She delivered prematurely at 34 weeks, and her little baby was distressed and frantic in the NICU until we retrieved the BabyPlus system from home.  Whenever we played BabyPlus, she settled down and went to sleep.  Her oxygen levels rapidly stabilized, she grew and gained weight rapidly, and was discharged two weeks later.  She is now 22 months old, very precocious, talking in sentences, and passed all her newborn milestones ahead of schedule.  My daughter-in-law used BabyPlus when she was pregnant, and again, we are seeing the positive effects.  Her baby has a keen sense of hearing, and recognizes tones and pitches quickly.  He loves music and dances up and down whenever he hears any.  I have recommended the BabyPlus to other pregnant people, especially those experiences complications with their pregnancy, as I feel it helps them keep 'in touch' with their unborn baby."

Today, taking a prenatal vitamin isn't given a second thought and is strongly encouraged for many reasons learned over the years.  Why wouldn't using a prenatal curriculum be the same?  We are learning more and more about the prenatal environment every day.

BabyPlus is not a toy - it is a profound educational tool, and the first step in your child's lifelong cognitive development.

BabyPlus was developed by Dr. Brent Logan, a developmental psychologist who directs the Prenatal Institute, Seattle, WA. Dr. Logan's 25 years of research have demonstrated that prenatal learning using a curriculum based on the maternal placental heartbeat is the most effective means of communicating with your developing child.

The BabyPlus Prenatal Education System is at the forefront of the 21st century learning revolution.

Since 1989, parents in more than 60 countries worldwide have given their children the BabyPlus advantage.

There is no question that this is an entirely new field of education, but prenatal stimulation has been around for thousands of years. BabyPlus simply represents the evolution of enrichment in the womb to a technique that has incredible advantages for the child. We believe that, someday, the use of BabyPlus will be as much a part of being pregnant as is taking prenatal vitamins.

Visit www.babyplus.com to learn more about this incredible learning opportunity for your baby!

The BabyPlus lessons are designed to be played for one hour, twice a day. For optimal benefits, start using BabyPlus anytime between 18-32 weeks of pregnancy.

This "auditory exercise" strengthens learning ability during the developmental period when the advantages will be most significant and enduring for a child. BabyPlus is the first educational tool designed for prenatal use that has been proven effective. BabyPlus children have an intellectual, developmental, creative, and emotional advantage from the time they are born.

You're never too young to learn.
(In fact, you don't even have to be born!)

What Is It?

The BabyPlus curriculum is a series of 16 naturally derived sounds that resemble a mother's heartbeat. The rhythm of the sounds increases incrementally as the pregnancy progresses.

The BabyPlus sonic pattern introduces your child to a sequential learning process, built upon the natural rhythms of their own environment.

Your baby can very clearly hear these patterns. She/he learns to discriminate between the sound coming from the mother and those from BabyPlus. In other words, learning has begun!

Some days I wonder if we will ever see green grass and the sun again!  I know my boys are definitely feeling cabin fever and geting a little restless staying inside so much.  Coming up with new things to do can be difficult when you are in the same surroundings day in and day out.

My sister had a terrific idea with my twin nephews--they went to the beach!  She got out the beach towels and sunglasses and blew up beach balls.  They laid in the sun, went swimming on inner tubes in the living room and built sandcastles out of blocks.  The best thing was they didn't even have to leave the house! 

Kids don't need a lot of fancy toys or to go to exotic places to use their imagination.  A little creativity can go a long way and playing pretend is good for little kids and big kids alike!
