2007 Holiday Project Auction: BabyPlus Prenatal Education System

Created by a developmental psychologist, BabyPlus Prenatal Education Systemis a patented, early curriculum that introduces patterns of sound to aprenatal child in the one language they can understand—the maternalheartbeat. As a baby discriminates the simple rhythmic sounds of BabyPlus from those of the mother, learning begins.The 16-week curriculum is used one hour twice a day, teaching the childto distinguish between the mother’s heartbeat and the sounds producedby BabyPlus. As the pregnancy progresses, the BabyPlus lessons advanceslightly. This ‘auditory exercise’ strengthens learning ability duringthe developmental period when the advantages will be most significantfor a child. Much like a prenatal vitamin encourages strong physicaldevelopment, BabyPlus encourages strong cognitive development.Completely safe at 30 decibels less than the mother’s heartbeat, over 100,000 families have used BabyPlus. Several of Hollywood’s hottest moms, like Gwen Stefani and Nicole Richie, used BabyPlus during their pregnancies.

This year’s project, A Month of Auctions, benefits the Newman Breastfeeding Clinic & Institute (NBCI) atthe Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto, run by worldrenowned breastfeeding advocate and pediatrician Dr. Jack Newman.  Theprimary function of the NBCI is to assist breastfeeding mothers andtheir babies with breastfeeding challenges. It also provides clinicaltraining for pediatric residents, medical students, nurses, andcandidates for those who intend to become International Board CertifiedLactation Consultants.  As the NBCI no longer receives funding from theCanadian government, it is in danger of closing, having already reducedits hours.  Even though the center is in Canada, their work and websiteis an amazing resource to all nursing mothers and those who wish tohelp them.
