Prenatal Development Facts

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.

I just received this sweet note from one of our BabyPlus moms.  I believe it sums up what we feel is so important about prenatal learning during pregnancy.  It's all about strengthening the foundation of what your little one already has!

"I just dropped off my first BabyPlus baby at her first day of Kindergarten. I couldn’t be more proud at this very instant knowing that I’ve done everything humanly possible to start her out on the right foot.

As I tell people, expensive diaper bags, strollers and infant toys are nice, but BabyPlus lasts a LIFETIME.

And yes, still eyes welling as I type this… I held it together for her in the classroom, but the drive home was a different story. "

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! 

Seventeen years ago this month, Mattel and Fisher Price Toys companies merged.  My favorite toys growing up were Barbies and Little People and seeing these toys in the store brings back many happy memories.

Toys are such an integral part of a child's development.  Kids are learning while they play.  Age-appropriate toys are important as well - you wouldn't give a metal erector set to a one-year-old.  You would start off with soft, squishy blocks.  After that, you could give him or her foam blocks and eventually you could introduce wooden or plastic pieces.  You start with the simple and basic before moving to the next level. 

This philosophy is the idea behind BabyPlus, which uses age-appropriate sounds during critical stages of fetal development.  By introducing simple sounds relevant to your baby's environment--your heartbeat--you will be able to strengthen cognitive development.  You will be able to move on to more complex sounds, such as music, after your little one is born. 

Much like a prenatal vitamin encourages strong physical development in your baby, BabyPlus encourages strong cognitive development during pregnancy.  You can find out more details at www.babyplus.com and read other families' experiences.

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!

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!

Alanis Morissette is pregnant with her first child – just a few months after getting married to husband Mario "Souleye" Treadway. We are sure they will want to know the benefits of the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System. 

A few of the BabyPlus benefits include:

• Earlier developmental milestones
• More readily to nurse
• Display an increased ability to self soothe
• Are more relaxed and alert at birth
• Are more interactive and responsive
• Longer attention spans

Congratulations Alanis and Mario! BabyPlus wishes you both all the best. Just remember the title of your song "You Learn" and remember your baby can learn with BabyPlus! 

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.

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!

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!

"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!

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!

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.
