Baby Einstein - bad. TV - bad. BabyPlus Prenatal Education System - good?!

According to the BabyPlus website, for $149 you can buy these characteristics in your baby: better at nursing, better at self soothing, more interactive and responsive, and more relaxed and alert at birth. And as the BabyPlus kids grow, they’d develop earlier, be more ready for school, be smarter, more creative, and independent with longer attention spans.

What a bad mother I am for not having used BabyPlus when I was pregnant. /self-flagellation begins

All you have to do is to strap a speaker to your belly and let it listen to “auditory exercises.”

Your baby can very clearly hear these patterns. She/he learns to discriminate between the sound coming from the mother and those from BabyPlus. In other words, learning has begun. Your baby accelerates the rate at which he or she compares and contrasts information. This process builds your baby’s memory for greater capacity and function throughout life.

I’m constantly amazed that we’re not all a bunch of blithering idiots considering none of our mothers did squat while we were in utero. How could the human race have survived without BabyPlus?

Celebrity Baby Blog tells us that celebrities rave about BabyPlus. And how unfair is it that only those with money to burn have access to such important technology. Of course, that demographic may need every little bit of brain boost it can get. /cue evil laughter
