I purchased the earlier version of this product two years ago. I was disappointed that I wasn't able to use it for my second pregnancy, most likely because it had been dropped too many times. This new version comes with a cloth pouch that makes it MUCH MORE user friendly. Also, one set of batteries (4 AA) lasted for 4-1/2 weeks. The batteries in my old one would last 5 days IF I was lucky. My daughter just turned two in January 06 and is extremely smart, verbally advanced and a joy to be around. By 16 months she knew all of her colors and could recite the ABC's. By 18 months she could recognize all of the letters. I believe we are well on our way to having a reading child by the age of 3. Do I credit the Baby Plus? Who really knows but we decided not to chance it and are using it again for baby #2.
ok so how many people think their baby is exceptional? Well, pretty much everyone i know, and they are all right of course. Each baby is exceptional, in their own way. But how many babies are rated as exceptional by pediatricians, nurses and early childhood educators? Well, I know one - MINE! I faithfully used the babyplus system when I was pregnant. One time when using it, he started knocking back. Yeap, i actually felt him knock back at it, in rhythm. It only happened once, but I told my husband that i think this is going to be one special kid. I was about 7 months pregnant then. Well, lo and behold, after he was born people (professionals) don't stop telling us how amazing he is. He is the most aware newborn you will ever meet. He is 2 months old now, and has been sleeping through the night (11 hours at a time) since he was 2 weeks. He cries when he needs something, and never cries for no reason (but i do make sure to respond quickly to his needs so i don't know how much that has to do with it.). Yesterday he started reaching for objects. Can't quite grab them yet, but it doesn't stop him from trying. The pediatrician and the nurse remarked how incredibly physically strong he is, how aware he seems and the fact that he vocalizes to music is unheard of at this age. He's been holding his head up since the day he was born (3 days late) and has been making eye contact since about 2 weeks. So, i don't really know what if anything the baby plus system had to do with it. I mean it could be just an accident but... all I can say is that I will definitely use this product with our future children. I would pay thousands if i had to because its worth every penny.
Being in the field of developmental psychology, when I learned of the Babyplus system, I knew the potential benefits it could provide my unborn child. I have since been astounded by the degree to which, I believe, it has impacted my now four-year-old son, Nathaniel. When he was born and placed immediately on my belly, he instantly raised his head up and stared directly into my eyes and then into his fathers'. He did that about three times and, knowing how difficult that would be for a newborn, we were amazed.
He was incredibly aware of his surroundings and developed both perceptual and physical skills very early. He walked the very first week of his eighth month. At 10 months, he had a list of words too long to remember and was creating two to three word sentences by one year. By 18 months, he was easily constructing 45 piece puzzles on his own. To this day people consistently comment on his advanced level of language and social skills.
I am now 18 weeks pregnant with my second child and starting the Babyplus system once more. The first day that I used it, I felt an immediate responsiveness in the baby--she was kicking so much all day!
My husband is an author in the field of performance nutrition and fitness and we are both very aware of the benefits of creating the healthiest of environments for our children. The environment in the womb seems a natural place to begin bringing awareness to all of the subtle stimuli that impact physical and emotional conditions, as well as the developing infrastructure of the brain. We are very thankful for the Babyplus system for helping our little ones get the best possible advantage!
I used this product with our first child. He not only arrived ahead of schedule, but came out talking vs. crying, was a great nurser (gained only! never lost) was an alert baby (got a 10 apgar score) This is an amazing system that has proved all it's claims to be true. Our child is alert, smart and inquisitive. My own personal opinion is that this product is also instrumental in encouraging the baby in a head down position when worn low. I did so with our first and he was head down from week 24 on...never turned! I am currently wearing it again with this pregnancy and am excited to see the results again! Thank you Baby Plus for an exceptional product!
I've used the education system starting at 17 weeks (at least once a day). My baby came out at only 33 weeks, but he did exceptionally well. As soon as he came out, he cried on his own. Minutes later, he was calm, alert, and breathing on his own. All the nurses and doctors was shocked to see how alert he was, because he would turn his head towards you as you are talking. He stayed in the NICU for only 2 weeks. When he came home, he rarely cries. He is only 2 months old now, he will show you signs that he is hungry/needing his diaper changed. We are really happy with this product.
I used BabyPlus for our third child.We were not aware of it for our other two children.We found that BabyPlus did live up to all of its claims. Our friends all comment on how calm he is, and how well he self soothe's. Our son clearly represents traits that our other two children did not,nor did my husband or I have some of the little positive differences that we notice.I have recommended BabyPlus to all of my friends and family.
