“My husband and I joke that our BellyBuds were an Ipod for our baby. I used it throughout my pregnancy after I read how a baby’s hearing develops in utero at about 20 weeks. I figured I could play him some of our favorite tunes. Another cute thing we did is record messages from our parents so he recognized their voices. Also, if you’re working with a surrogate, these earbuds can help familiarize your baby with your voice in advance. I remember at one ultrasound when getting photos of our baby was proving quite difficult, I played some Led Zeppelin and he switched positions immediately.”
