This Mother’s Day you can give an expecting mom and her unborn baby the gift of prenatal brain development. Click on www.babyplus.com to learn more about this amazing product/gift for Mother’s Day!

Using BabyPlus during pregnancy is such a wonderful lifelong gift to your little one. The simple set of sounds strengthens cognitive development during the important time of fetal development. The BabyPlus system is a very reliable product. However, a problem can occasionally occur, and it is usually a battery issue.

There are several things you may want to try. First, be sure you have a fresh set of alkaline batteries. As you probably know, the BabyPlus requires fresh batteries every 7-10 days to operate at optimum performance. Even new batteries at the store could be old. We recommend Duracell brand battery, and we do not recommend rechargeable batteries.
The next thing you can do is check the battery contacts. Sometimes a battery can accidentally bend a contact. You can create a tighter fit by removing the batteries and pulling the contacts out a bit. There are two sets of thin metal flaps with raised dots on each side of the battery casing for a total of four. Take your tweezers or a paperclip and gently pull out the flaps to create a tighter connection for the battery making sure not to snap the contact.
Finally, you can remove the batteries and let the system discharge stored energy for 30-45 minutes. Then, insert a new set of fresh alkaline batteries.
And remember, do not leave the batteries in when storing your BabyPlus.
If these suggestions do not help, there are several ways you may contact customer service for more suggestions.

The Women in the World Summit 2012 hosted by Newsweek and The Daily Beast was brimming with hope and excitement. One of the topics covered in the three-day event was the digital lives of women. I can’t help but think of the value online forums provide girls and women. I wonder how my mother or grandmother’s life might have been impacted by the availability of an online community of other moms, daughters, sisters and friends. There is so much value in sharing ideas, experiences and resources. Chelsea Clinton expressed it best at the Summit:
"Too often we focus on the perils and pitfalls that the Internet and social media pose for young women and girls, and clearly those challenges are real. Too rarely, though, do we focus on the ways in which young women and girls are using the Internet and social media to find their voices to sing and dance, but also to project their voices and to help organize and build communities and movements … to help build a world online offline that all of us would rather live in. "
-- Chelsea Clinton, Board Member, Clinton Foundation
The internet and social media provide communities for moms and expectant moms to share what made a difference in their children. Parents from 60 countries throughout the world are singing the praises of BabyPlus Prenatal Education System®. When a mom finds a product that truly works, she wants to shout it from the rooftop! The developmental benefits of prenatal auditory stimulation are widely recognized by prenatal educators and researchers from every part of the globe. It is truly exciting for our company to be involved in the evolution of prenatal care.

Her name is Giovanna and she is 4 years old. She was potty trained before she was two and has taken off ever since. We taught her sign language, which she quickly picked up on and she is reading three and four letter words now from books. She began going to "school" at about 16 weeks old and since she was two has been in classes of kids one to two years older than her. She is already doing many of the things that they teach in kindergarten (We're worried that when she actually starts kindergarten she'll be bored.) We can't say enough about her intelligence and her ability to learn new things. Her memory is off the charts. She brings up situations and people from months prior like it was this morning. Thank you so much for this product, we really feel she was developing her brain before she even was in our arms!"

"I gave birth to a son in August, and I see the difference between my older baby (not a
BabyPlus baby) and him. My newborn baby so far has been the calmest baby. He soothes himself, and is easy to appease. He rarely cries, only when he is hungry or is in need of a diaper change. He "talks back" when you converse with him. My mother-in-law even noticed that for a 1-month-old baby, he seems to enjoy being talked to. I am eager to discover what he will do in the months ahead."
Congratulations from all of us at
The BabyPlus Company! We know you will continue to see the wonderful benefits of using

Beyonce and husband Jay Z are expecting their first child together.

Once they share the news with loved ones and friends, they are sure to read articles on
prenatal learning. 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.
Beyonce and Jay Z 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 busy working parents, Beyonce and Jay Z will want to know about the BabyPlus curriculum and how the mother's heartbeat sounds have a positive impact on infant sleeping schedules.
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!
"I read about the BabyPlus in a magazine at my doctor’s office. I was incredibly skeptical but decided to do some research online. I was surprised to find so many amazing reviews of the product. For me, the proof was that all of these parents had such similar experience with their newborns and growing children. I decided to invest the money to purchase the BabyPlus and I was so pleased with the results. When my daughter was born, the nurses and doctors all remarked at how alert and peaceful she was. She only cried when she was hungry or wet. She slept through the night at 6 weeks old. She was a great eater from the start and is incredibly bright. My daughter is now 3.5 years old and is an incredible child. Her memory is remarkable, she is bright, confident and she easily adapts to any situation. Based on my experience, I recommended the product to a friend who then recommended it to two of her co-workers. All three of their babies exhibited the exact same behavior. I also recommended it to another good friend who used it while pregnant with her son. She had such an amazing experience, that she told her sister about it. The list goes on and on! Every friend who used the BabyPlus is blessed with a happy, content, alert and bright child. When I found out I was pregnant for the second time, I counted the days until I reached my 18th week so I could start using it again. I can’t say enough positive things about the BabyPlus!"
Thanks for sharing! We love to hear from "our" moms and dads! Keep the stories coming!

There has been an ongoing discussion regarding the performance of rechargeable batteries in the BabyPlus system. We have received additional information from our factory that using rechargeable batteries may actually be harmful to the system. The factory said BabyPlus isn’t designed for rechargeable batteries and that the driver components are not correct for them.
While we do not recommend rechargeable batteries because of the risk of cutting out during a BabyPlus lesson, we now know they could potentially damage the actual system. For optimum performance, we only recommend a high quality alkaline battery, such as Duracell. This brand performed best during our testing.
We receive many questions at

We have had several inquiries regarding the usage of rechargeable batteries.
The
BabyPlus has a built-in regulator with a 5-volt requirement to sustain continual usage. While four fully charged rechargeable batteries provide 5 volts, the voltage drops down very quickly, which means the fully charged batteries can only work for a short time.
BabyPlus will turn off
automatically when rechargeable batteries cannot provide enough energy, thus abruptly stopping your current lesson. This is why we recommend regular Duracell or Energizer alkaline batteries instead of rechargeable batteries. While the energy in alkaline batteries decreases, the BabyPlus does not immediately stop working.
