Using it again with Baby #2
I used this product faithfully since I was 17 weeks pregnant with my son who is now 19 months old. Baby Plus does not guarantee results, however, I have had similar results with my son as other users have. Caden was extreemly alert from day one. He was born with eyes and palms both open and hardly cried. He nursed well from day one and has always been extreemly interactive with others at a very young age. He reached most milestones slightly earlier, but is very smart and speaks very well for a 19 month old boy. He is very creative, has an amazing imagination, keeps himself entertained, is independent, is amazing at anything sports related, yet is also very careful... The only thing that didn't seem to "work" with Baby Plus, was Caden was a horrible sleeper through the first 6 weeks and would still wake up to nurse at least 2-3 times a night until 14 months.... some of that is normal anyways, and some I'm sure I could have stopped before 14 months too.
My cousin used this also for her baby who is now 12 months old and has had very similar results. While this may be just coincidence, and I have been blessed with a very special child, I am using Baby Plus with my second pregnancy.

Does it work?
The thing about BabyPlus is I don't think that there is any way to tell if your child was helped by this machine. What I do know is this- my child is a very easy going, and smart child. He spoke early, and clearly. People have stopped me on the street since he was a year old because they could not believe how well he spoke. Now, at age 3, he has proven himself to be a great problem solver. If I ever have another child, I will definitely use BabyPlus again.

I would use BabyPlus again
When I was pregnant 2 years ago, you sent me a Baby Plus to use.
You asked me to write a review after Ella was born, and the truth is I had not used the Baby Plus, but not as faithfully as the instructions suggest. Additionally I felt that Ella was too young for me to see any verifiable results. She is now almost 20 months old, and talks a lot more than many children her age. Her language skills are exceptional (or so I am told) for a child so young. She also has a decent attention span which seems unusual for a 20-month-old! I am now pregnant with our second child. Though I am not sure there is anyway to prove that Baby Plus is the reason that Ella seems to be progressing so well with her language and development, I will definitely use the Baby Plus with this second pregnancy! Even though I didn't use it as much as I intended to with Ella, I don't want to take the chance of not using it on this next baby.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY IN SHAM "SCIENCE"
What an utter waste of money! I plan on returning it ASAP. I even called the customer service number and complained - the "inventor" called me back (which was nice) and left this long, detailed message proclaiming the "benefits" of and "science" behind it. He referred me to his web page, stating that there were scientific, peer reviewed articles there. I am a physician (hence I should have known better than to buy this, shame on me) and there was only one article from an actual medical publication...and it is from some obscure journal and was written by him! There is absolutely NO objective data that this is nothing but a big waste of money.
While I was waiting for the package to arrive, I had visions of my daughter being accepted to Yale at age 10, playing Beethoven and Bach at the age of 3, etc :)) But when the package arrived and my husband put batteries in, I thought there was a defect with the product. There was this horrible rattle eminating from it...kind of like a very slow dentist drill. Hence what prompted my call to customer service. No, indeed it was not a defect...it's supposed to make that rattle...and the 16 "lessons" ... just speeding up the horrible drilling sound so you actually feel like you are at the dentist...getting a root canal...without novicaine.
So, save your money and buy something actually useful; toilet paper, deoderant...anything would be more useful for your baby than this!

I'll forever regret using this item with my son.
I was suckered in by the convincing advertising. Of course I wanted my child to be at the top of his class.... of course. So I'll list the pro's first: My son is articulate, has a keen mind and has been speaking in full sentences (albeit short at first!) by about 18 months. People comment all the time about his speech (clarity and vocabulary) and also about how sharp he is.
Now the cons: My son did not sleep through the night until he was close to one full year old - he was a fussy baby and incredibly sensitive to noise and stimulus. He hit his major milestones on time (or early), but was, and still is, incredibly high-maintenance. My son was just diagnosed (yes, by a team of professionals) ADHD, is hyperactive and displays the impulsive characteristics of ADHD. I'm fully aware that all babies/toddlers/kids are individuals, and that it's not a 'one size fits all' approach to child-rearing, but please, just leave your perfect baby alone and don't be tempted to use this product. We now face years and years of behavioral work, dietary monitoring, and proactive management to deal with his ADHD - it's just not worth it to have a smarter child at the expense of 'normal' childhood.
