I heard about BabyPlus in a FitPregnancy Magazine when I was about 6-8 weeks along with our first child and decided to give it a try. My mother bought it for me (and the baby!) as my birthday gift and I began using it at 18 weeks. I must say that I am so very pleased with the product! Our beautiful baby boy is now 10 weeks old and a day never goes by that someone doesn't comment on how alert he is for his age. At 3 MINUTES old the doctor handed him to me; when my husband spoke, he turned his head completely around to look for his daddy!! He watches BabyFirst TV for 45-60 minutes if I let him, and will squeal and kick as the colors and pictures change! He has never been a crier either! He only cries when hungry or needs his diaper changed! I have been told by many people that he is the most content infant that they have ever been around. As an occupational therapist I have been very watchful of his milestones and have been pleased to find that he has reached ALL of them ahead of schedule. It seems that he started learning early and has thrived since being born. I truly feel that BabyPlus played a huge role in his calm demeanor, alertness, and quick learning. In utero, he enjoyed the lessons and would move along with the beats and from birth he has been an absolute angel!! I would recommend this product to anyone! I am already planning to use it with our next child!

I started wearing the Babyplus when I was 18 weeks pregnant. My husband was skeptical but I figured it couldn't hurt. I wore it for an hour every morning and an hour every night. (I often wore it in the car since I had a 1 hour commute each way.) I never found the sounds annoying. My son was born alert and calm, he didn't even cry. He was such a good, easy baby, he really only cried if he was gassy or very hungry. He's always had a really good disposition and people (even strangers) often comment about how sweet, happy and easy going he is. He's reached all his milestones early. He rolled over, sat up and crawled early. He took his first steps one week shy of becoming 10 months old and was fully walking at 11 months.
I've also taught him sign language. He picked it up very quickly and he also started speaking at an early age. His language amazes me. He turned 16 months old a few days ago and can sign over 50 signs, can speak over 120 words and even say 12 words in Spanish (most children I know his age say less than 10 words)! He can count to three (and sometimes throws in a 6 or 8 while I count). He knew all the body parts (and not just the usual eyes, ears, nose but also shoulders, neck, elbows, etc) and all the animals and their sounds younger than his peers. He loves music. He LOVES books and could spend hours each day being read to or just flipping through his books on his own. Sometimes he'll even say what is coming up on the next page before he or I even turn the page. He picks new things up so effortlessly. I only had to show him once for him to learn to put his dirty clothes in the hamper, put his toys away in the toybox and throw garbage in the trash can. He loves to help and clean. We've traveled with him a lot and he adjusts very well to new environments and people. He's very smart and very sweet. He's so good natured and such a joy to parent. I don't know how much of it was the Babyplus and how much is genetic and nature/nurture but I will definitely be using the Babyplus for any/all next pregnancies. I've even had a couple parents ask me what my secret was (after being impressed by my son) and I tell them I used the Babyplus. (I also think the sign language and reading a lot has played an important role).
I highly recommend using the Babyplus if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant!

I was skeptical about the claims of this product, but as a first time mom I wanted to do everything right. I used it faithfully daily. morning and night. I found the rhythmic tempos calming, but others found it annoying. Well out comes Ethan 9 weeks later with eyes wide open! The nurses were amazed at his alertness! He latched and breastfed immediately, slept through the night at 2 weeks, hardly ever cries, has an excellent attention span, and is observant of everything. We get comments about him all the time regarding how alert and inquisitive he is. Also, he loves music and is especially talented at keeping rhythm. He started playing the bongo drums at 3 months! I don't know if this product is responsible for this wonderful baby or not, but it can't hurt to try it!

I can't say definitively that we have the best-adjusted babies because of our use of BabyPlus, but I am a believer. I used the BabyPlus for the entire program during pregnancy and additionally found it to be a great time to bond with my babies. Our 6 month old triplet girls have been through-the-night sleepers since the girls reached the goal weight set by our doctor to stop doing the middle of the night feedings. (Pretty awesome to be able to say about triplets.) Over and over our visitors comment on how peaceful the girls are -- my mother-in-law is a big one on "this is really not typical behavior" -- the BabyPlus is my secret ingredient in making awesome babies!!

I purchased the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System before my second trimester of pregnancy. I began using it at week 18 and consistently used it throughout my pregnancy. My baby would kick during and after each session. When I delivered she was very alert and rarely cried. She only cried when she was hungry. At one week she began tracking and reaching for the toys on her swing. At 7 weeks she rolled over and began actively watching infant educational programs. At 8 weeks she slept through the night. At 10 weeks she could sit upright with little assistance. At 11 weeks she would try to stand up while being burped and began cooing often. At 12 weeks she will take turns cooing with other people. Her pediatrician said at her 2 month appt. that she has excellent head and neck control for her age. She plays with her doll at 13 weeks and recognizes simple words. I am a teacher in Alabama and highly recommend this product to all expectant mothers. I believe my child is advanced due to its use and look forward to the future.
