What the experts are saying:

"Prenatal stimulation through music heard regularly while in the womb might provide some babies with a sense of confidence and relaxation after they’re born. You and your baby also will quickly discover an excellent way to bond and share in the emotional and potential intellectual development benefits this method may bring." - Jennifer Lacey, Music in the Womb: Bonding with Baby Before Birth

"Children’s early experience with speech and music are tremendously important in shaping many higher aspects of brain function, including emotion, language and other cognitive abilities" - Lise Eliot,What’s Going on in There?

"It’s important the best music is made available to babies at the earliest possible stage of their growth. There is compelling scientific evidence that the music we hear at the earliest ages significantly affects the way our neurological pathways are laid down during development." - Professor Paul Robertson, www.musicmindspirit.org

"79% of the pregnant women could feel a reaction from the fetus, either often or occasionally or infrequently. Several could directly perceive that the fetus was calmed and that it was responsive to the music." - Independent 12 week study by musicians and composers, Claus D Jensen and Henrik Birk Aaboe

"Music stimulates the growth of brain structures and connects many activated brain areas. Musical practice calls for fine motor coordination, and enhances the phonological loop."
- Wilfried Gruhn, Emeritus Professor of Music Education, University of Music Freiburg, Children Need Music

"The itummy prenatal band is a perfect instrument for exposing music to your baby. This support band offers many more benefits than your average band. Brain development, nerve stimulation and sound association are only some of the progressive but safe benefits you can look forward to. This device may also help your child rotate from a breech presentation to a vertex or head down position, making a vaginal delivery possible. One simple solution for a possibly complicated sequence of events with a heads up presentation. Lastly, this is great for moms on the go who want to expose their children to prenatal music but can still do their day-to-day errands."

1. Laying on her back on a board or using pillows so that her head is about 40 degrees lower than her feet.
2. Play music, preferably with headphones, placing them low down on her uterus.
3. Shine a very bright light low down on her uterus, or even between her legs.
4. Have someone (preferably the father) talk loudly but soothingly to the baby, low on the belly, close to the skin, telling the baby to turn around, to come towards the voice (have also heard that commanding works).
