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!
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!)
BabyPlus is an amazing product. From the time I first learned about it, 3 years ago, to now, I never get tired of hearing people's stories about how well it works. It's such a pleasure to hear all the positive feedback from people using this prenatal care curriculum. I thought it would be fun to share a few of my favorite quotes from families using the system:
Our little “T T Moore,” as she likes to call herself, just turned 2. She is such a joy to watch discover and learn new things each day. She can “run” with the big kids and is so coordinated it amazes our family and friends. She knows and recognizes so many words it is amazing. -The Moore Family
Over the weeks and months to come everywhere we went people always commented on how alert and attentive she was - parents, doctors, nurses - everyone. Our daughter began "cruising" as they call it at 7 1/2 months and by 8 1/2 months was completely walking. She has reached all of her developmental and motor milestones on an average of 3 months earlier than expected and always a lot sooner than her peers. She is now 23 months and is reading.
-The Quatela Family
I have used BabyPlus with THREE babies (currently using with my third) and have seen amazing results. The descriptions on their site are right on as to what I have experienced - the babies have all been very peaceful, and calm. To further back this up, my sisters and sister-in-laws have used BabyPlus for their children -- totaling EIGHT more children and all have had the same results.
-Mary Cooper
Those are just 3 of our testimonies among the hundreds we've received. You can see more on our website at http://www.babyplus.com/BPFamilies.php. If you have a story, share it with us at customerservice@babyplus.com.
We are thrilled to learn that Christina Applegate is expecting a baby! We are confident she will want to know the tangible benefits of using the
BabyPlus Prenatal Education System.
Christina Applegate is a busy working mom-to-be, so she will be happy with the benefits that
BabyPlus parents all over the world describe:
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 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. The amazing information for first-time parents is that learning actually begins
IN THE WOMB.
BabyPlus wishes Christina Applegate and her baby the very best!
Lexie Ostrand's father is convinced that
BabyPlus made a big difference in his daughter's
life. This is what he shared:
"Lexie was very alert when she was born. The doctor commented that she was alert and bright and almost seemed to be looking around and observing everything. By the time she was a little over 3, she was ready to begin school. We took her to shadow at a K-12 school. On the day she shadowed, she didn't want to come home. She went back the next day and shadowed again. The head of the school wanted to test her, and she tested out of 1st grade. The school made an exception and enrolled Lexie - at age 4 - in Kindergarten. She is in a pod of kids in grades K-2, and is helping older kids with their first grade assignments.
Lexie speaks three languages - English, Spanish, and Tagalog (a language spoken in the Philippines). She just completed Kindergarten and her standardized tests are at 1 1/2 grade level. She choreographed her own dance routine for her performing arts school.
A friend of ours used
BabyPlus, and her daughter is doing many of the same things. This is why we believe in
BabyPlus."
Keep in mind - Lexie is not even five years old yet!Lexie's parents are very proud of her and her accomplishments, and so are we! Great work Lexie!
These are the words of a UK BabyPlus "mum""I was recommended
BabyPlus by a friend who used it during her two pregnancies and raved about it. To be perfectly honest I was skeptical but after reading up on it decided that it couldn’t do any harm so thought that I had
nothing to lose. I began using it at 18 weeks of pregnancy as the manufacturer recommends for an hour in the morning (I set the alarm an hour earlier to put it on in bed!!) and an hour after work. I soon grew to love this time as it was a part of the day that I could really focus on the pregnancy and the baby. At about week 20, the baby started to kick and soon would
move and squirm during our `sessions’ which was wonderful so if nothing else I felt that I was really bonding with the baby. I wasn’t religious in using it and missed the odd lesson but fit them in whenever I could.
My baby arrived on his due date and at birth his eyes were wide open and he was alert observing his surroundings. He latched on fairly easily straight away and has been a good feeder ever since. His sleeping patterns were fairly sociable from the off and he slept through the night from about 3 months which I believe is unusual! He is developing well and I get many comments about how he seems advanced for his age. He is my first baby so I don’t know but certainly he seems to be slightly ahead of his buddies of the same age from the antenatal classes.
It’s hard to say whether or not
BabyPlus is the reason that our little boy is doing so well but is does seem a coincidence and having convinced other friends of it’s
benefits and who have used it they seem to be sharing the same experience. I think that there are many factors that contribute to a happy baby but I would say that if I was to have another child I would certainly use
BabyPlus again because I feel it would be unfair not to give my other children the same start. It may be on the pricy side but it is well worth the investment giving the amount of research that is reported to have gone into the product, and certainly my experience is that it does seem to work! If I had another child, I would not want to miss out on giving them the same opportunity.
I don’t think buying this is about trying to make your baby a genius but if you are interested in giving your baby a bit of a headstart, surely it’s worth a go! There’s lots of useful info on the
BabyPlus website about the
scientific research which is great if you need a bit more convincing!"
As usual, "our" parents are the very best!
Moms-to-be all over the country-and all over the world-want to do what is best for their little one while pregnant. Prenatal learning is a wonderful gift to give an unborn baby that will continue to benefit the rest of his or her life. Through a simple set of sounds that resembles the mother's heartbeat, parents can give their babies a strong foundation of learning.
Christine B. is a new BabyPlus user that we will be following throughout the remainder of her pregnancy. We asked her a few questions about using BabyPlus.
What is your favorite part about using BabyPlus? I really like feeling that I’m doing everything I can to give my baby a headstart! Plus, I have just started feeling baby kick, and those first movements were felt during one of my early sessions using BabyPlus; that was really fun.
Would you recommend using BabyPlus to other expecting moms? Absolutely!
How easy is it to use BabyPlus? Couldn’t be easier. The design is simple…and you don’t even have to keep track of time since the unit turns itself off automatically after an hour. Also, you can wear the BabyPlus while doing most activities – I’ve worn it while washing dishes, checking email, reading, etc.
Any other advice you would give moms who have questions about BabyPlus? If you have questions about the science behind BabyPlus, how it works, or testimonials from other moms, check out
babyplus.com – a very informative website!
We look forward to following Christine in the months to come!

Congratulations on receiving your
CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY!
What an exciting time for you! You have drawn up your
plans. You are working on one of the biggest projects of your life - maybe not even for the first time... Having a baby is the ultimate
DIY project! You are both the
architect and the
project manager.
Luckily you won't need a
building permit for this project! You might
even be having a
maximum occupancy load...
As with any
construction project, you want to use the
best possible tools to complete your design.
BabyPlus is the tool to use while your baby's cognitive development is forming because as a baby begins to distinguish between the simple rhythmic sounds of
BabyPlus from those of the mother's heartbeat, auditory learning begins.
You are building your family. You are laying the foundation. You might be taking prenatal vitamins. Another way to insure that the structure of this building project is solid is to use the
BabyPlus Prenatal Education System.
The
BabyPlus sounds introduce your child to a sequential learning process, built upon the natural rhythms of their own environment.
Use
BabyPlus while your baby is below-grade to insure that he or
she has the best possible start when above-grade! You will be sure to love the finish-grade!
Next project - building a crawl space!
BabyPlus is a great Mother's Day 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 mother? 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.
Give the expectant mom a baby who will nurse well, sleep well, and self-soothe. What mom wouldn't want these traits in her baby?
Give mother and baby a gift that lasts a lifetime!

prenatal development. Most expectant mothers 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.Since Mario and Courtney will be first-time parents, they are likely to wonder about infant development and the stages through pregnancy.
Being busy working parents, they will want to know about the BabyPlus curriculum and how the mother's heartbeat sounds have a positive impact on infant sleeping schedules.
BabyPlus wishes Mario and Courtney and their baby the very best!
This is a recent blog written by our Japanese distribution partner Kayo Awad. We were very fortunate to have her join us at the CES in Las Vegas. She is a BabyPlus parent (two times) and she and her husband David are now our sole distributors in Japan.
In her own words:
"My initial encounter with BabyPlus was almost 6 years ago when I became pregnant with
my older son.
My husband saw an ad in a pregnancy magazine and after some research online, secretly bought the product. He presented it to me with a little embarrassment at first, but I understood the concept right away and started using it.
The result was...amazing! Our first baby was super easy-going, slept through the night almost immediately and nursed really well.
More than anything, he was a really happy, friendly and fun baby and everyone including total strangers absolutely loved him! However, we didn't necessarily attribute everything to BabyPlus as he was our first and we did a lot of prenatal education activities such as reading to him, singing to him, playing kick-games, etc, on our own besides BabyPlus during pregnancy.
What made it firm for us that BabyPlus really works was when our second son was born. 17 months after the first birth, we had another boy. This time we were convinced BabyPlus worked because we did absolutely NOTHING for Taikyo (prenatal education) except for BabyPlus and this baby was even easier - he just ate and slept all day for the first 2 months!! When he was awake, he would just laugh or smile all the time. People called him the Buddha baby
We were so convinced BabyPlus did it that we flew over to the headquarters with our 3 week-old son and had a meeting with BabyPlus Company president about bringing the product to Japan, where I'm from.
It's been an amazing journey. Most people are skeptical at first just like we were or tend to think it's hit or miss...but they become "believers" after birth and we keep seeing similar rave reviews all over the Internet now.
We are very grateful we found BabyPlus for our boys and we are able to help other people find it for their babies in Japan.
Thank you, BabyPlus!!"
Thank you to David and Kayo for their wonderful partnership!
We are back from CES - Las Vegas!
The Consumer Electronics Show has concluded in Las Vegas, and we were beyond thrilled with our experience.
This year was the first year for the "Mommy Tech" area. The BabyPlus Prenatal Education System was a perfect fit for "Mommy Tech." We had so many great visitors to our booth. Several representatives from countries all over
the world are as excited as we are! Savvy parents know that the prenatal period is critical - and did we ever hear about it!
The study of the prenatal environment is not new, and some of the recent great findings just confirm what is already known.Shannon Miller spoke on behalf of BabyPlus. She is seeing tangible benefits in her son - such as he was sleeping through the night at 6 weeks and he has been very alert.
Prenatal care is important during the pregnancy trimesters. The stages of development of a fetus are fascinating and crucial at the same time. BabyPlus will have a profound and important impact on your baby.
And, with the hundreds of people who visited our BabyPlus booth, we know that infant development is a priority!
Congratulations to expectant parents Tiffani Thiessen and Brady Smith! Once they share the news with loved ones and friends, they are sure to read articles on prenatal development. Most expectant mothers 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.Since Tiffani and Brady will be first-time parents, they are likely to wonder about infant development and the stages through pregnancy.

BabyPlus - see Shannon Miller using BabyPlus - in Times Square and Las Vegas!
While simply walking down the street you can see photos of Shannon wearing her BabyPlus Prenatal Education System. This is in both Times Square and in Las Vegas!
Shannon says, "Like any parent, we want our child to have every advantage we can give him. BabyPlus helps us do that."
Miller is expecting her first baby in late October and has been using
BabyPlus during pregnancy to ensure her child gets the best possible start on life and learning. Now she’s sharing her experience and enthusiasm for BabyPlus with other expectant moms around the world.
Shannon Miller has realized the importance of fetal development during the critical periods in prenatal development. The benefits of infant stimulation are many. Like Shannon, you can directly impact your infant's sleeping schedule with this safe, simple set of 16 lessons based on the mother's heartbeat sounds.
We were not surprised at all that Shannon Miller, the most decorated gymnast (male or
female) in U.S. history, decided to use BabyPlus while pregnant. Shannon Miller is the only female athlete to be inducted into the US Olympic Hall of Fame,
twice! (Individual in 2006 and Team 2008).
Shannon and her husband John Falconetti are expecting their first child, and we are thrilled that they have chosen to use our the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System during Shannon’s pregnancy. They seem genuinely excited about the strengthened learning capabilities our product can provide their child.
We know they did extensive research on how to best benefit their baby during the stages of fetal development.
In her own words: "Like any parent, we want our child to have every advantage we can give him. BabyPlus helps us do that." - SMBabyPlus lessons are both simple and safe to use. They are designed to be played for one hour, twice a day. For optimal benefits, start using BabyPlus any time between 18-34 weeks of pregnancy.

We are so lucky to talk to the nicest people all day long about such a great topic -
babies!
Just today we received another email with the subject line "Happy Feedback" and a smiley
face. This was from a momma in the southern part of the U.S.
" I am currently 7 months pregnant and I have been using the babyplus since the very beginning. I have a special friend from London who recommended me to use her babyplus equipment. My husband and I are having a baby girl. Since I started to use babyplus I have been amazed! Baby is always kicking me more around the time I normally use the babyplus during the day. I feel like she is asking me for that and she knows that the bits will come. I am very happy with what I am feeling right now on my baby’s development even when I do have another 2 months ahead of pregnancy. I have been recommending babyplus to all pregnant women I have been in touch recently. It is pretty funny to observe their opinions about having kids, in particular when they say how stressful is to become parent. My husband and I are having another picture and feelings on the situation as a parent-to-be that we are. She is our first child and it is normal that we do have plenty of expectations. We believe that there are a lots of things you always can do in order to establish the best communication with your baby even during pregnancy stage. We just love stimulating our baby in so many different ways and Babyplus is one of them!
We are very happy with your product and we cannot wait to enjoy baby’s birth in ours lives! :) "
We highly recommend BabyPlus as a way to bond with your baby during your
pregnancy. Many of "our" moms tell us that their baby anticipates the lessons and some have even reported that their baby will kick in the same rhythm as the heartbeat sounds.
I love this job!
BabyPlus - twins - testimonialBabyPlus parents love the tangible benefits they notice - here is another example of this:
"My BabyPlus twins were born at 36 weeks on July 13, 2009. I used the BabyPlus system religiously twice a day throughout my pregnancy and then once a day while on bed rest – the twins were simply too active to do it twice a day at that point!
Though born prematurely, they were both 100% healthy – no issues with eating, breathing, or controlling their temperatures – and they were able to come home with us from the hospital right away! From birth, both babies were wide-eyed and alert. We absolutely love the 2-3 hours we get with them each day when they are awake and looking around, as most newborns spend hardly any time awake.
We were delighted (but not surprised), to find that both babies had already hit their one month developmental milestones by their first week pediatrician appointment. They were holding up and turning their heads, gripping objects, had relaxed hands and had both eyes working together, to name a few! They are very calm throughout the day and we can’t wait to see them thrive and excel in the months (and years!) to come."
Please visit our website at www.babyplus.com to learn more about the benefits of using the BabyPlus curriculum while pregnant to give your baby gifts that last a lifetime!
There are so many women out there who just found out they are pregnant or are trying to get pregnant who still have unanswered questions. We thought, who better to answer them than someone who is going through her first pregnancy. I asked my friend to help me answer some of those questions that we hear on a daily basis and give her honest opinion. Here goes:
1. What was your first reaction when you thought you were pregnant?
I've wanted to be pregnant every month since I got married, and have subsequently thought I was pregnant every month since, so I didn't think that I really was pregnant at first.
2. What was your first reaction when you found out you were actually pregnant?
Shock, I was at home alone and I kept walking around in a daze.
3. What has been the 3 hardest parts about being pregnant?
The most difficult part has been being so incredibly sick. It has also been challenging to adjusting to the fact that we are having twins, which was a surprise. The other two most difficult parts are being ok with gaining a ton of weight and watching my body change.
4. The 3 easiest?
Number one would be loving the babies. It sounds cheesy I know but it's true. Telling my husband was a blast too. I'm honestly having a hard time thinking of the third because so far it's been a very difficult pregnancy.
5. What do you wish you would have known before you got pregnant?
This might be too much information, but don't let yourself get even a little bit constipated...yikes! I wish I had known that my body would feel so foreign to me and how hard it has been thus far. People don't tell you that there are times when it is really not a beautiful thing. It's hard because you are sick and don't feel nearly as attractive as you used to. Additionally, your relationship with your husband does change. All that being said, every time you get to see your baby (or babies) on the ultrasound, or feel them kicking it honestly does make everything worth it!
6. What do you wish for your babies as they grow up?
I want them to love well. Meaning, I want them to see outside themselves and be women who comfort others, serve and are compassionate. I want them to be happy with their choices and be well loved.
7. If there was one thing you would want women who have never been pregnant before to know, what would it be?
Don't get pregnant until you are 100% ready for it. It's a wonderful time, but it's also scary and difficult. If you are not really ready for it, it will totally overwhelm you.
8. Any thing else you want to add?
Ask questions, don't try to do it alone and trust the women around you who have been through it before.
"A working mother couldn't ask for anything more than an incredible baby that sleeps through the night."We have received a wonderful email from a mom who used BabyPlus
with her second child and is therefore seeing a true in-house comparison:
"Hello, I like many was very skeptical when my fiance told me about the BabyPlus. His best friend's wife used BabyPlus and wanted to give us one when she found out we were expecting. I was hesitant about whether or not the BabyPlus would really work. I wore it anyway from 18 weeks to 38 weeks. There were many days that I only wore it one time a day, so I continued to use it up to 38 weeks. This is my second baby and I am seeing an incredible difference between this baby and my first one (which I didn't use BabyPlus with). My baby (born 5/21/09) has been sleeping 9-10 hours a night since around 7 weeks. He doesn't even wake for feeding.. People always say that your babies need solids to start sleeping through the night, but I have no intentions on starting my baby on solids until 4 months, and this is proof that they truly don't have to have solids so early.. His 6 oz. bottle of formula before bed is enough. He sleeps from 9:00PM to 6:00AM or later. He is also very alert and very happy. He focuses on things very well and when I stand him up, he tries to stand up on his own. I am amazed by how advanced my second child is compared to my first and I have no reason not to believe it is because of the BabyPlus, and I just wanted to say Thank You. A working mother couldn't ask for anything more than an incredible baby that sleeps through the night. :) "
