BabyPlus

A BabyPlus father emailed us regarding what he is seeing in his (darling!) baby.

In his own words:   

"This is a photo of our son.  From week 18 until his birthday on 8/9/10 we used BabyPlus twice daily. He nursed within 30 minutes of being born, appears very alert and can already focus on our faces and turns his head to certain sounds and our voices. The attached photo is our son at 2 weeks of age. I was holding him up under the arms with his head laid back, and all the sudden when the photographer made a sound he lifted his little head up and she snapped this precious shot. His mother and I may be biased but he looks so alert, and inquisitive, like he wants to ask you a question. We can not wait to see what the future holds for our BabyPlus baby. We plan on being pregnant this time next year, and BabyPlus will be a staple of that pregnancy as well. Thank you for a great product."

We agree - he is so alert - and his neck is so strong.  This just affirms why over 250,000+ BabyPlus babies have been born to date all over the world.  Consistently, parents of BabyPlus babies report the benefits of this amazing prenatal curriculum.  BabyPlus parents tell us that their babies are relaxed and alert at birth, nurse well, have an increased ability to self-soothe and are interactive and responsive.

Shannon Miller used the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System with her first child, and we have been eagerly following his progress ever since his delivery:

"Rocco started crawling a couple weeks ago and every day he is more  active exploring everything and everywhere! We are so blessed to have  such a happy little boy. He loves his sleep and still makes it through the night 12 hours! That certainly helps me recharge and get things done after he goes to bed so I can make the most of my time with him while he is awake. He hasn't found anything he doesn't like to  eat....anything.   I am so thankful that I used BabyPlus. I know it's  
made a difference and I have to admit it makes me feel good when  people remark on how alert, calm and curious he is. Thank you BabyPlus!"

We see that Shannon Miller's baby Rocco is exhibiting the tangible benefits parents all over the world have come to expect in their BabyPlus babies.

Thank you Shannon Miller! 

these are her words:

"Aloha,

I thoroughly enjoyed using BabyPlus.  I am a Special Education teacher by profession, but have been a proud stay at home mom for the past 20 months.  I believe BabyPlus has helped my son become as intelligent, well developed, and expresses himself with such ease.  He slept throughout the night when he was 1 month old,  at 3 months, he was pointing at pictures in books, at 4 months, if I had given him the book upside down, he knew to turn the book right side up, he began walking at 11 months, throughout his first year, we traveled on 11 planes, of which he didn't cry on either of them, he remembered a gesture he did at 11 months when I asked him only once when he was 13 months,  (I couldn't believe he remembered it because we hadn't practiced it), he follows directions very well, he can associate what words go with what objects, he understands the concepts of emotions, he knows how to use an iphone (knows where the apps he likes are, the camera, and the photo app; he plays Tozzle, a puzzle app, and Giraffe's Preschool Playground, where he can identify letters and numbers), and even associates my husband, my brother, and my mother's number to the right people, in fact, he will call them to talk with them, he can even carry on a conversation on the phone, last weekend, he took out my decorative rocks and pretended to count, he was pointing and mumbling, though I heard "two" and "three" quite well, he also put my decorative rocks back to where they belong without being told, he is a very easy going and happy child, and he learns things so fast. I am amazed at how well my son, Junior, has developed intelligently and emotionally. "

WE KNOW!  These are exactly the types of characteristics BabyPlus parents all over the world describe. 

We look forward to learning more about this child as he begins his schooling!

All parents know that learning actually begins before your child goes to school.  Learning really begins in the womb.  Everyone knows that baby development after birth is important.  However, the research now confirms that the critical period in prenatal development - especially early brain development - is impacted week by week in pregnancy.  Using the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System - a simple set of sounds similar to the mother's heartbeat - helps during the stages of prenatal development.

Don't wait to begin teaching your baby after he or she is born - help them to be born already learning!

Learn more about BabyPlus by clicking on the BabyPlus system!

What does this mean, exactly?  Well, here at BabyPlus US, we are happy to explain!

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

This "auditory exercise" strengthens learning ability during the developmental period when the advantages will be most significant and enduring for a child.

Simply put, BabyPlus sounds just like what your baby already knows (your heartbeat!).  The BabyPlus lessons provide just enough variation during the critical period in prenatal development.  Your baby can very clearly hear these patterns. Your baby learns to tell the difference between the sound coming from you and those from BabyPlus.

In other words, learning has begun!

I say it all the time - we LOVE LOVE LOVE getting pictures of "our" BabyPlus babies.

The two darlings have a four year old sibling, so this BabyPlus mom knows the benefits of using the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System.

We have many sets of multiples whose parents used BabyPlus during pregnancy.  The feedback we receive from these parents consistently indicates that their babies are exhibiting the tangible benefits of using the BabyPlus curriculum.

"Our" parents of multiples have seen the same benefits (better sleeping, nursing, self soothing, school readiness, etc.) as the mothers of single babies.  Frequently, twins 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 their milestones based on their birth age, as opposed to gestational age.  They have also reported shorter hospital stays when compared to other premature babies.

BabyPlus is a series of 16 Lessons based on the mother's heartbeat.  Used during the critical period in prenatal development, this innovative prenatal care curriculum will provide your baby (or babies!) with an appropriate amount of stimulation.  The benefits of infant stimulation are many - read any article on prenatal development and you will learn that baby development after birth is directly impacted by what happens in the day by day pregnancy.

I was so lucky recently to spend some time with a BabyPlus Mommy and a very proud Aunt - these two gals just couldn't tell me enough about this adorable 15 month old boy...

In their own words:

"He slept through the night at two weeks.  He can answer "What does a cow say?" "Moo"  He is easy going and has met or exceeded every milestone so far.  He knows sign language -  food, more, please, thank you, dog, milk... He already says mommy, daddy, more, please, down, doggy.  If I say "Go get your shoes"  he will go get them and sit down.

He began walking at ten months.  He is now putting words together into short sentences like more please and down doggy.  He has always been easy going and not much of a crier.  When he was 11 months old we took a plane to California.  He fell asleep at take off and woke up when plane landed both ways.  

He eats well.  He knows where his raisins are in the pantry and will walk in, get his raisins, then get his bowl and hand both to his mom.  We tell him the dog is sleeping and make the shhh sound, so now when the dog is sleeping he makes the shhhh sound."

I had such a great time with these two gals, and I can't wait to watch him as he grows.  He is darling!

The next issue of pluspoints - our BabyPlus newsletter - is just around the corner.....

Trista Sutter is launching a clothing line called "Winter Rose" for My Vintage Baby (http://myvintagebaby.com)

We are very excited to see the debut of Trista Sutter's clothing collection.  

Trista Sutter is a BabyPlus mom of two adorable children, so she already knows the benefits of using this patented prenatal curriculum.  Trista saw the tangible benefits in her first child, 3-year-old Max and decided to use the BabyPlus again with her second child, 1-year-old daughter Blakesley.

Like the other BabyPlus parents all over the world, Trista and her husband Ryan made the decision to give their babies the very best possible advantages throughout life by using this simple, safe set of sounds based on the mother's heartbeat.  During the stages of fetal development, Trista's babies heard her heartbeat and the sounds of BabyPlus.  During the critical period in prenatal development, Trista's babies compared and contrasted the different sounds and strengthened cognitive development... in other words, learning had begun!

BabyPlus US wishes Trista well in her newest endeavor!

How nice to receive this email today from one of "our" moms whose baby was born early:

"Our son is growing like a weed.  He is one month old and wasn’t supposed to be born until tomorrow. He amazes me every day and seems to be doing really well.  He is healthy and happy. I just love watching him with his sister.

Our little story would be a great Baby Plus success story- for being a preemie he is blowing away the doctors.  Thank you for having such a wonderful product. We are true believers."

"Our" moms of premature babies report that their babies are reaching their milestones based on their birth age, as opposed to gestational age.  They have also reported shorter hospital stays when compared to other premature babies.  

Our hope is that your BabyPlus baby will be full term.   Isn't it is nice to know that - should your baby be born early - you have provided your unborn baby with this educational curriculum in order to provide the best start?

Congratulations to Rod Stewart and his wife Penny Lancaster who are expecting a baby!

We are confident they will want to know the tangible benefits of using the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System.  Over 250,000+ BabyPlus babies all over the world have benefited from this patented prenatal curriculum.

We are sure that Rod and Penny will want to learn everything they can about the critical period in the fetal development of their babies.

Since Rod Stewart is a musician, he will obviously want to know about how the BabyPlus curriculum of the mother's heartbeat sounds will benefit his baby in the womb.  Music is made of beats! 

BabyPlus wishes Rod Stewart, Penny Lancaster and their baby the very best!

(Do you think they will name her Baby Jane??????)

Can't hardly believe that Danica McKellar is pregnant!  Danica McKellar is best known for her role as Winnie in The Wonder Years.  Danica McKellar married composer Mike Verta last year, and now they are pregnant!

According to the article Danica is reading "a lot about parenthood."  The article listed several books she is reading about parenting and what happens after delivery.

Danica will also likely want to know more about what happens BEFORE delivery - in the prenatal period.  The prenatal period is critical to the lifelong learning process of your baby.  Using the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System - a simple, safe set of sounds based on the mother's heartbeat - while pregnant encourages cognitive development.  Danica will find out that learning in the womb is not a new idea - many cultures have believed in and practiced forms of prenatal stimulation for years.

Since this is Danica McKellar's first pregnancy, she will likely read about the stages of fetal development and all the stages through pregnancy.  Being first time parents, Danica and Mike will be encouraged by the many parents who report that using BabyPlus positively impacted the infant sleeping schedule.  BabyPlus parents all over the world report their BabyPlus babies more readily nurse, have increased ability to self-soothe, and have great sleeping habits.

BabyPlus congratulates Danica McKellar, her husband Mike Verta and their baby!

(I feel old!)

On April 23,  Ed Ostrand was dumping a 5 gallon bucket of sea water over a sea wall in his backyard.  Unfortunately, he fell down the sea wall head first and landed on an oyster bed.  Since it was low tide, his head hit the oyster bed and felt as if it had been "hit with a sledge hammer."

Fortunately, his daughter Lexie was right there and saw the whole incident.  She said, "Daddy you are hurt and bleeding bad."  She quickly ran into the house and called 911.  She knew her address and was able to get emergency services to their home.  Lexie's dad needed over 50 stitches to his face.  

How is this relevant to us?  Well, Lexie is a BabyPlus baby of course!  Great work Lexie!

"Pregnant women everywhere can pull the headset away from their bellies...." begins the article titled "Mozart Effect: A Popular Myth Debunked and Explained" written by Katie Drummond on the site politicsdaily.com. 

Her information comes from an article titled "Mozart's Music Does Not Make You Smarter, Study Finds" from the May 10, 2010 online article at ScienceDaily.  

The article at ScienceDaily refers to three University of Vienna researchers who present new findings in the US journal Intelligence suggesting no evidence for specific cognitive enhancements by mere listening to Mozart's music.

This is the reason BabyPlus is so very effective - music and the spoken word are simply too complex for the prenatal child during cognitive development.  BabyPlus is so effective because of the simplicity of the sounds - the maternal heartbeat - used during the development of the fetus.  Your developing baby hears your heartbeat 24/7.  When you play the BabyPlus curriculum your baby hears your heartbeat and then the heartbeat sounds of the BabyPlus and begins comparing and contrasting - thus learning has begun.

We already KNOW this and that is why the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System is so distinctive from classical music for the prenatal months!

in her own words:

"I'm a proud mother of 3 BabyPlus "graduates." I first read about the BabyPlus System in Parenting Magazine in spring of 2004 when I found out I was pregnant with my first. I could not be happier with my choice and advocacy to my husband that I wanted to use this system. All 3 of my children ranging from 5 1/2 years to 23 1/2 months have always hit their milestones well before the "norm." I've used a BabyPlus system with my pregnancies because after seeing the benefits of the first I couldn't bring myself to chance it and highly recommend it to anyone looking for something that will benefit a child for the rest of their life."

We thank all of "our" parents for choosing to use BabyPlus with their children!

We are thrilled to learn that Melissa Rycroft and her husband Tye Strickland are expecting a baby!  We are confident they will want to know the tangible benefits of using the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System.  Melissa now is co-hosting The Bachelor Pad, the "all-star reunion" of former contestants from both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.

Melissa will be interested in knowing that Trista Sutter - another busy working mom and a FORMER participant in The Bachelor - used the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System with both of her babies.  Trista noticed the tangible benefits in her children - BabyPlus babies nurse more readily, have an increased ability to self-soothe, are more interactive and responsive, and are more relaxed and alert at birth.

BabyPlus wishes Melissa Rycroft, Tye Strickland, and their baby the very best!
