The BabyPlus curriculum is a series of 16 naturally derived sounds that resemble a mother's heartbeat. The rhythm of the sounds increases incrementally as the pregnancy progresses. The BabyPlus sonic pattern introduces your child to a sequential learning process, built upon the natural rhythms of their own environment.This "auditory exercise" strengthens learning ability during the developmental period when the advantages will be most significant and enduring for a child.

BabyPlus children have an intellectual, developmental, creative, and emotional advantage from the time they are born.
The BabyPlus lessons are designed to be played for one hour, twice a day. For optimal benefits, start using BabyPlus anytime between 18-32 weeks of pregnancy.
| A Breakthrough in Learning This patented, prenatal curriculum is designed to strengthen your baby's learning capabilities with naturally derived audio lessons. For your child, the developmental benefits of BabyPlus last a lifetime. | |||||
 | |||||
| Parents who hope to give their prenatal child every intellectual, developmental, creative, and emotional enrichment will want to take a closer look at the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System. BabyPlus is a patented, prenatal curriculum developed to strengthen a child's long term learning capabilities. These naturally derived audio lessons are founded on the very language of the prenatal child, the language of the maternal heartbeat. As a baby distinguishes the simple rhythmic sound lessons of BabyPlus from those of the mother, auditory learning begins. As a mom's pregnancy progresses, so does the BabyPlus curriculum. The baby is introduced to a sequential learning process at a time during development when the advantages will be most enduring and significant. The developmental benefits of BabyPlus last a lifetime. | |||||
 | |||||
 |  | ||||
What are Professionals Saying? | |||||
| "Baby Plus may have been the simplest, yet most important thing I did for Mary before she was born. From her quiet, calm alertness as a newborn to her, now happy, interactive personality as a toddler, I have been amazed at what a difference Baby Plus has made in the way she learns from everyone and everything around her." Elizabeth Moore, M.D. Pediatrician | |||||
| "As a pediatric physical therapist, the developmental strengths of the BabyPlus children I've seen in my practice are very convincing. These children consistently demonstrate very strong fine and gross motor skills, early milestones, and long attention spans. Now, I too am a BabyPlus mother (of three) and I have seen countless additional benefits in my own children, most notably their strong learning skills and long-term memory, and adaptive dispositions. What a wonderful investment!" Paula Ryan, PT Pediatric Physical Therapist | |||||
| "BabyPlus is a brilliant system. I have used it myself, will definitely use it again, and have only positive things to say about it in my book." Sarah Brewer, M.D. Obstetrician Author of SuperBaby: Boost Your Baby's Potential from Conception to Year One | |||||
| "For their child's lifetime development, every parent should hear about this discovery, an innovation representing the single most significant step science has taken toward increasing infant potential." Rene Van de Carr, M.D. Obstetrician Author of While You Are Expecting | |||||
| "I think that someday, the use of BabyPlus will be absolutely as common during pregnancy as is taking a prenatal vitamin today." Karen Bell, R.N. Registered Nurse, BabyPlus Mother of 3 | |||||
| "I just love your BabyPlus! I would recommend it to anyone! My son was alert and active from the time we began using your product at 18 weeks gestation. Gradually, he began to anticipate his "sessions" and would kick when it began. Since his birth he has been more alert than the average baby. He is now 16 months old and has more than 50 words in vocabulary, listens intently, watches lips and speaks 10-15 words in his father's native Italian! I credit half of this development to Babyplus!! He has benefited greatly from your product!" Kati Corsi Teacher | |||||
| "An expectant mother provides for the physical growth of her developing child through conscientious lifestyle, diet, and the use of prenatal vitamins. BabyPlus offers similar enrichment by strengthening a child's learning capacity at the most critical period of development. I have seen the remarkable benefits myself." Susan Morrow, Ph.D. Molecular Biologist | |||||
What is Prenatal Learning? | |||||
It is widely accepted that a child's learning ability begins during those very same prenatal months. Educators, scientists, criminologists and physicians alike have long ago acknowledged the vital importance of a healthy and enriched prenatal environment as it pertains to the long term development and learning ability of a child. An age-appropriate prenatal curriculum strengthens a child's ability to learn during the developmental period when the advantages will be most significant for the child.
| |||||
Can Prenatal Learning Aid in Bonding? | |||||
The encouragement and practice of prenatal learning provides the mother with an opportunity each day to focus on her prenatal child. She can offer her prenatal baby auditory stimulation that she knows will help the baby's cognitive development. It is a loving, conscious effort on the part of the mother and it is satisfying to her maternal instinct to be able to do something so very beneficial for her baby.
Naturally, while such bonding is most significant between the mother and the prenatal baby, others can share in this interpersonal exchange. Not only do they observe maternal happiness as an effect, they can place their hands or face against the mother's abdomen and feel what is going on. In this way the family can experience the beginning of interactive family communication. How a baby responds can actually provide a preview of future personality traits! | |||||
Does Playing Music Encourage Prenatal Learning? | |||||
Listening to music is a pleasurable experience, and certain types of classical music can have a calming effect on a pregnant mother. Since the prenatal baby can sense a mother's mood, the mother's emotional state can have a corresponding calming affect on the baby. However, music is not 'basic' enough to be the most effective prenatal curriculum.
The most effective prenatal education curriculum is one that utilizes the main element of the baby's frame of reference, namely, the heartbeat. Research has shown that introducing a heartbeat sound at a lower decibel level (like the simple rhythms of BabyPlus at 65 decibels) encourages the prenatal baby to begin to differentiate between the two sounds. Click here to hear what your baby would hear inside the womb. The next progression is to slowly increase the rate of the sound used in the curriculum. Following this, the curriculum can introduce a slight tonal change. All changes in the prenatal curriculum must be very slight to give the prenatal baby the means of discriminating between these similar sounds. In this pattern of staged progression, the baby begins to learn. Such sounds must be very simple and repetitive, something which neither speech nor music can accomplish as effectively. That is why nursery rhymes, tunes, reading aloud, and classical music are simply too complex during this early stage of development. | |||||
What are the Benefits of Prenatal Learning? | |||||
Parents also report that, if their care giving skills are consistent, the regular sleep/wake cycle of their baby becomes quite consistent at an early age in the infant's life. There is also documented scientific evidence that the immune system of an infant who sleeps well and sleeps regularly is actually stronger. Additionally, an obvious side benefit of a well-rested baby is a well-rested parent!
Prenatal learning does not create a "genius baby" anymore than a prenatal vitamin creates a "bodybuilder." The prenatal months of early development are simply the right time to strengthen the foundation for learning. | |||||
