Just a quick up-date from your "Feet on The Street".  I am in Atlanta at a Nurses Conference and I'm excited to share a quick story with you.  I came to this conference last year and met a wonderful woman whose daughter was pregnant with twins.  This soon-to-be grandmother gave her daughter the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System to use, starting in her 32nd week of pregnancy.  With twins, the mother reported lots of activity, with both babies moving and jostling for position throughout the day.  But she reported that when she would introduce BabyPlus, the babies would each try to position themselves close to the BabyPlus, and settle right down for their lesson.  When the twins were born, they were both very relaxed, with hands and eyes open.  Well, the twins are now 11 months old and their grandmother has reported some wonderful outcomes for her grandchildren. She stated that the pediatrician has been confirming at well baby visits that these twins are indeed advanced.  They are achieving their pediatric milestones ahead of their peers.  Mother reports that the twins were very good sleepers from the beginning.  The grandmother in this case is so pleased with the BabyPlus Prenatal Learning System that she has expressed interest in becoming a distributor for BabyPlus in Nigeria. 

This is just another example of how the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System enhances prenatal care. Infant development is enhanced by simply using BabyPlus and the results speak for themselves.

Sometimes I get asked, "What is BabyPlus?" working in Customer Service.  I am able to share with them the exciting benefits of using a prenatal care curriculum such as BabyPlus. 

Lisa Jarrett, President of the BabyPlus Company, says "BabyPlus introduces a safe, simple set of sounds to a child as early as 18 weeks in the womb.  These sounds are patterned after the mother's heartbeat, the one language the baby can recognize at this early stage of life.  It is the only true and consistent sound of the prenatal environment.  The variation of sounds stimulates the baby's cognitive development and as the child progresses through the BabyPlus curriculum, he or she learns to discriminate between those sounds.

Well over 100,000 families, including doctors, teachers and childhood development experts around the world have experienced the benefits of early education through the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System.  Right from birth, BabyPlus parents report babies more readily nurse, display an increased ability to self-soothe and are more relaxed and alert; and, later in life, reach earlier developmental milestones, show improved school readiness and greater creativity and independence, have longer attention spans and enhanced intellectual abilities."

I love being able to introduce people to how babies can learn in the womb during development.

 Your womb...the perfect classroom...

You take a prenatal vitamin every day to enrich your child's earliest physical development.

Your child's brain development begins during these prenatal months, too.

Now is the time for the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System.  Click on the picture to learn more about prenatal care, our prenatal care curriculum, and, most importantly, prenatal development facts.

 Is Using the BabyPlus Prenatal Education system safe?

Absolutely.

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.

BabyPlus Compared to Other Prenatal Devices...

The only sound your baby clearly recognizes is the sound of your heartbeat. 

All other sounds are equally confusing.

BabyPlus is distinctly different from all other prenatal education devices or techniques because only this approach has been tested for effectiveness and safety in clinically controlled measurements by independent professional evaluators. Neither music, spoken material, tactile, nor multimodal methodologies meet these standards.

The scientific explanation for this is as follows:

To determine appropriate material for the unborn child's growing mental structure, the child's normal environment must be assessed. That analysis reveals that the maternal heartbeat is the predominant influence - the mother's blood continuously pulses through the placenta at 95 decibels (as loud as a passing train). BabyPlus tones are preset to reach the baby well below this natural level. This natural sonic stimulus, the mother's heartbeat, occurs at about one cycle per second when the mother is resting. Throughout life, the BabyPlus advantage means the child will be better able to absorb and appreciate far more of his or her environment than a child who did not receive this benefit.

The BabyPlus tones passing through the maternal abdomen sound exactly like the mother's blood pulsing through the placenta, only increasing in rhythm and complexity. Standardized tests show that these natural, progressive sound lessons are the most effective form of stimulation. Music is too random and complex. It is the repetitive curriculum of BabyPlus and the changes in the pattern that are most beneficial for earliest learning. BabyPlus may sound repetitive to adults, but it is optimally effective for benefiting the prenatal child's forming mental structure - a developmentally appropriate curriculum.

This is why the only sound your baby clearly recognizes is the sound of your heartbeat.

BabyPlus parents report about the benefits of using the BabyPlus:

Babies at birth and infancy:
more readily nurse
display an increased ability to self-soothe
are more interactive and responsive
are more relaxed and alert at birth

And, later in life demonstrate:
earlier developmental milestones
improved school readiness
enhanced intellectual abilities
great creativity and independence
longer attention spans

Using the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System's simple and safe lessons during the stages of pregnancy can show these tangible benefits and more. 

It's not very often that you get a hug at work.  But that is exactly what I got at a recent conference I attended. A nurse walked into my booth, wrapped her arms around me, and said "Thank you for BabyPlus". (I wished I could take credit for it, but I told her "your welcome" anyway.)  She proceeded to tell me that I had given her a BabyPlus Prenatal Education System at a conference we had both attended.  Her baby was now four months old, and she credited BabyPlus with her child's very calm demeanor, his very contented nature, and that he was a very good sleeper, but she said the most noticible thing about her baby was that he nursed like a pro from the very beginning. (As a mother of two, I know what a struggle breast feeding can be.)  I was happy to tell her that many first time parents who used the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System, have reported the same thing to lactation consultants. I'm excited to hear from this wonderful mother in the future about her childs developments.

See you next time!

The real question is, "Why wouldn't you use BabyPlus?"

The BabyPlus Prenatal Education System is safe, scientifically validated, and the benefits are remarkable. The benefits are a baby who more readily nurses, has an increased ability to self-soothe, is more interactive and responsive, and is more relaxed and alert at birth.  In order to give your child every advantage, you take care of your health while you're pregnant - eating right, taking prenatal vitamins, avoiding alcohol, etc. Basically, you commit to taking care of the physical environment of your developing baby. 

The great news is - you can also begin taking care of your baby's early cognitive development.  The scientific research community is in agreement with your natural instincts.  Why not start educating your child as early as possible - with an age-appropriate curriculum for the stages through pregnancy - based on your own heartbeat?

About the Comfort Pouch

The BabyPlus Prenatal Education System includes a comfort pouch.  You put your system in the pouch to wear during these critical times in child development.  One question we often hear is "How do I adjust the size of the comfort pouch?"  Click on the picture of the comfort pouch straps for directions to "re-size" the comfort pouch.  Some moms even buy two or three pouches to have extras on hand!  The pouch should be worn snug to your belly, and your baby will hear the sounds similar to a mother's heartbeat sounds.  This is how learning begins! 

School is back in full swing and kids are back in the classrooms, but what about the concept of a prenatal classroom?  The idea might sound new and different, but it’s fast approaching mainstream pregnancy terminology.  By using a prenatal curriculum, their cognitive ability strengthens during the prenatal development period.   In other words, your baby will have a head start after they are born and have the blueprint for building a foundation for learning.   This is all done with a safe, simple set of sounds that are patterned after the mother’s heartbeat.  Click on the link below to learn more about BabyPlus Prenatal Education System.

BabyPlus Relaxes Prenatal Baby

 

I got a call from an expectant friend of mine who is experiencing a high-risk pregnancy.  She is 32 weeks pregnant and had been using BabyPlus regularly.  As her pregnancy progressed, she was put on bed rest, and then put on a Trabutaline pump, and had to wear a heart monitor for 2 hours a day.  With all that she was occupied with, she was frustrated and quit using BabyPlus.  For the next two weeks she said the baby had started getting really active, moving constantly, kicking very hard, and it became quite uncomfortable for her.  She thought back to BabyPlus, and figured maybe it might soothe the baby and maybe she could get some rest.  She started back with BabyPlus, and after a few days, she called me to say that BabyPlus had an amazing effect on the baby.  She said she went back to her schedule, using BabyPlus when she would lay down for a nap, and she said the baby fell asleep right away.  She said not only would he fall asleep, but said he was much more calm for the rest of the day, his kicking and movements became more playful and not as aggressive.  She credits BabyPlus.  Link to our website for more information about the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System. http://www.babyplus.com/

 

Watch for future information from your “Feet on the Street”. 

Hi:  I’m Doria LaFlamme, Medical Accounts Manager for the BabyPlus Company.  I travel the country, attending many different healthcare conferences, where I represent BabyPlus to thousands of prenatal and postnatal health-care professionals, as well as expectant parents.  I’ve just returned from the National AWHONN Conference in Los Angeles and I can tell you that the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System caused quite the excitement!  Many of these health care professionals understand the benefit of early infant stimulation, which is exactly what BabyPlus provides.  In fact, several nurses have stated they are using the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System in the NICU, because they understand that premature babies have been taken from the natural environment (mom’s heartbeat)  during a critical period in prenatal development. Using BabyPlus replaces this stimlus for the continued development of the prenatal child.  I have many great stories that I will be sharing...

 

Look for future blogs from me, your “Feet on the Street”, as I will keep you posted about exciting news I uncover during my travels!

 

Recently, I visited a Mimi Maternity store in Chicago that was selling the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System.  One of the sales associates was 20 weeks pregnant.  I asked her whether or not she was using the BabyPlus system since she was selling them to customers.  She replied that she was not using one because she was more of an "earth momma" and didn't believe that we needed to be "pushing" babies in the womb to learn.  She felt that once her baby was born that she would have plenty of time to teach her baby what he needed to know. I told her that BabyPlus is not actually "pushing" your child to learn but is helping the child's brain to develop so that it will reach more of its full potential. Research has shown that the mother's heartbeat sounds, which the baby hears 24/7, trigger early brain development during pregnancy. BabyPlus offers a new sound like the mother's heartbeat, but different enough that the baby's brain will automatically compare that sound with it's mother's heartbeat.  Then, as the BabyPlus curriculum changes over time, the baby's brain will compare each new sound to previous sounds.  This comparing and contrasting helps enhance the baby's cognitive development so that when the baby is born, he will have "exercised" his brain and it will be receptive to learning at a higher level.  At that point, the sales associate said that explanation made a lot of sense to her.  She was not forcing her baby to learn in the womb but offering him an opportunity to strenthen his learning ability.  Kathy ended up buying a BabyPlus and wearing it to work to talk to other mothers about the importance of prenatal learning.

BabyPlus is a great baby gift! 

Considering that you use the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System during the critical times in child development, who wouldn't want to give this gift to any child? 

Read any article on prenatal development, and you will see that the benefits of learning in the womb can last a lifetime.  Whether this is a first time pregnancy or not, the prenatal development research all says the same thing.  Think about the research - every child development assessment tool will measure what has happened up to that point in a child's development.  The current research strongly indicates that the womb is so important when a baby is developing.  Give a baby a gift that lasts a lifetime!

Pediatricians and researchers alike have observed and measured the benefits associated with the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System.  Many of the benefits observed relate to the baby's development after birth. However,learning in the womb can have many long term benefits.  Babies that have benefited from BabyPlus are reported to reach early childhood milestones, such as the ability to point to body parts on command, walk and talk ahead of their peers.  Utilizing such milestone assays as the Clinical and Linguistic Auditory Milestone Scale (CLAMS test) and the Vineland Social Maturity Scale (school readiness test), these children have shown an increased attention span, enhanced memory skills and measurably improved school readiness.  These child development assessment tools illustrate that BabyPlus can lead to long term benefits in learning.  Parents have also reported that BabyPlus children exhibit greater creativity and independence. All of these traits can help your child to become a strong learner, leading to success in school and life. Why not do all that you can to help your child be successful in the future? 

 

People are talking!   All the attention about early brain development during pregnancy, infant growth assessment and prenatal education is really becoming a topic for First-Time parents. Click on the forum above to read what parents are saying. And click on the link below to read one couple's week by week pregnancy progress. This couple used BabyPlus Prenatal Education System and they share those day by day experiences as well.

 Early brain development during pregnancy is a topic that is getting quite a bit of attention. This does not exactly guarantee a highly academic baby, but it does suggest that a baby can be more calm, can nurse more readily and later in life be more school ready. These babies have an improved sleeping schedule. There infant growth assessments are better. Watch the video about a family who used the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System and hear what they have to say.

My son decided to play trombone last year.  I couldn’t believe how wonderful the band sounded at his spring concert!  However, it took a lot to get to that point.  He had to learn one note at a time which then led to scales, which eventually led to an entire song.   When you are learning something new, you must start with the basics and build on that.  That’s similar to what the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System does.  It breaks learning down to the most basic sound that a baby would recognize in its prenatal environment; the mom’s heartbeat.  Then each lesson builds on the next, stimulating their cognitive development to learn to discriminate between the two.   Breaking down to the basics will help build the foundation for a lifetime of learning.

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!
