Summary: Good work!
Review: Good and sober information about bonding and teaching your child. During our pregnancy we carried out the majority of the suggestions in the book with amazing response. Today, although our daughter at present is only 2 months old, we have a wonderfully alert and happy daugther. She is very intelligent, good at focusing and way ahead of the normal developmental curve for an infant.Also we enjoyed the advice on nutrition and living in general. All in all highly recommendable to any expecting parents.

Summary: Read the book and used the product
Review: I bought the book and the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System recommended by it. I used this for my baby from month 5 of my pregnancy. The system recommends that the product is used twice daily for one hour each session. Because I didn't find any reviews, I decided to be a little conservative and only used it for half an hour once a day. Here are my results: My baby is now almost 3 months old. Babies are born more relaxed with their eyes and hands open, and crying little: This is very true. Many people have commented on how alert my newborn was. He also started following black-and-white objects with his eyes since he was two days old ! He is WAY ahead with his visual milestones. Babies nurse better: this is partly true. My baby latched on right away. Unfortunately, he would fall asleep after 10 minutes, so I ended up having to switch to the bottle. Babies sleep better: once their night-day cycles are resolved, it definitely seems like my baby sleeps well at night. Not sure if this is just his temperament or due to the BabyPlus. Babies and children have longer attention spans and reach developmental milestones more quickly: the attention span is very true for my child. He can focus on books we read to him for 20 or 30 minutes at a time! He will play with his baby gym for an hour before needing attention! Regarding the milestones, he is ahead on some, on time with others, behind on some. Babies have advanced language, musical, and creative abilities: he loves music, but with the other stuff it is too early to tell Babies and children have enhanced curiosity and the ability to gather and process information very quickly: my baby definitely seems very curious about the world around him. Babies and children have a better ability to self-soothe: Probably true. Hard to say. Children demonstrate expanded cognitive abilities - testing has shown higher than average IQs: too early to tell with my baby

Summary: A good but partial beginning
Review: The method presented in this book is useful, although it includes no controlled scientific evidence for either short or long-term benefits. I would strongly suggest expectant parents to look at Dr. Sarah Brewer's Super Baby, and especially the proven approach that author recommends, the BabyPlus prenatal enrichment system (www.babyplus.com), which Dr. Van de Carr's method could complement.

Summary: Prenatal Stimulation
Review: The whole idea of prenatal stimulation fascinated me. There was some mention of it in another book I was reading and so I bought this book to find out more. I was not disappointed. It is easy to understand the concepts behind the communication you are having with your unborn baby because the book explains why you are doing what you are doing. It also backs up the notion of prenatal stimulation with case studies and results. This is my fourth child, the other three being ages 19, 22 & 23, so this concept is very new to me and it's wonderful and exciting to be able to participate in a process where I can give my unborn child "one up" by the time she is born.
