Babyplus prenatal stimulation system

Post Reply New Topic

So there is this thing one day I stumbled upon on internet and I'm intrigued. Apparently this is supposed to make your baby smarter, alert from birth, sleep well from the go (As suprising it is for gifted kids.) and other neat things.
Of course, I'm rather sceptical of this product, which consits basically at blasting sound to a unborn child. (Not that I'm a potential costumer, it's not like I have much chance to ever have a kid.)
And so are some other:

Except that the amazon reviews ( http://www.amazon.com/BabyPlus-8200-Prenatal-Education-System/dp/B00140KS9I/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top ) are overly positive, and peoples say that the results are like promised from birth, with kids being very alert, good sleeper and very advanced for their age. Still though, the negative reviews suggest it could cause a lot of stress to the babies.

So what? Is it a crook product? Or a product from "crooks" who (somehow...) found a miracle product? Is it possible that a lot of the reviews on amazon being made up?

When I was pregnant I was surrounded by ads for products like this (perhaps even for this specific product, they all blurred into each other). I read about the whole "prenatal stimulation" concept (there are many products) and decided it was nonsense. Women can positively or negatively affect their babies based on what they do during pregnancy, but from what I read it seemed like the effects were all on what the woman ingested (or didn't), breathed in or was infected by. I took care to eat nutritious foods and stayed away from toxic substances and enviroments the best I could but this looked like nonsense.

As to the positive reviews, there are probably some legitimate ones from mothers who falsely attributed their baby's normal cognitive development to this product. There are also probably some fake reviews by employees of the company that makes the thing. This is so common that Amazon has started flagging (in a good way) all reviews that can be correlated with an actual Amazon purchase. Now when somebody writes a review there is a little flag that says they really did buy the product from Amazon. Of course people might go to Amazon to review a product they bought elsewhere or corporate shills might buy their own products from Amazon just to get that flag, but it does help sort out plausible true reviews from fake ones.

The thing about "smart baby" products is that all parents see their baby as smart. So inevitably some will falsely attribute what they see (which might be loving delusion anyway) to a product they used, especially if they used it a lot.

There has been some research on "smart baby" products and the research has uniformly shown no effect at all. It's just a way to get money and will not make babies any smarter. What makes them smarter? Not damaging them with toxins while pregnant. Babies of drug addicted mothers are sometimes saddled with mental retardation because of it. But those women weren't buying this product anyway.
