Prenatal Education System - learning in the womb!

Just when you thought you couldn't prepare your kid for Harvard any earlier than preschool (ooh- the dreaded preschool apps, at least in NYC, where legacy, siblings and hefty donations seem like the only things that can guarantee you a spot for the Ivy League feeder schools), you can start educating your baby in the belly before your baby is even born with the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System.

So what is it and how does it work? BabyPlus is a series of 16 scientifically designed rhythmic "auditory lessons" that resemble the heartbeat which increases incrementally and sequentially over the baby's time in utero. The product argues that unborn babies receive very little stimulation (isn't growing into a human enough??) and that the specially designed sequential variations aid in bonding mother and child. Actually, BabyPlus claims a lot of incredible benefits the minute the baby enters the world:

"Babies are born more relaxed with their eyes and hands open, and crying little. Babies nurse better Babies sleep better. Babies and children have longer attention spans and reach developmental milestones more quickly. Babies have advanced language, musical, and creative abilities. Babies and children have enhanced curiosity and the ability to gather and process information very quickly. Babies and children have a better ability to self-soothe. Children demonstrate expanded cognitive abilities - testing has shown higher than average IQs."

Wow! A few minutes of BabyPlus a day and you can create your own superhuman dream baby! There's also plenty of supporting scientific babble on here too in case you were wondering, with phrases like "psychodynamic", "formative neurology", neurogenesis", and my favorite "brain cell death concluding gestation" (??). But don't take my word for it, you should really read it for yourself.
