The Lovely Lullabelly Prenatal Music Belt: A Must-Have Baby Shower Gift

Several years ago, Adrianne Godart, an avid music therapy advocate and practicing licensed massage therapist to many pregnant women, was shopping for a baby shower gift for her friends who were expecting. She was looking for a present that would combine her love of massage and music, and to her dismay, she was unable to find such a gift. After moving to Denver, Colorado, meeting her husband, and conducting much research and testing, she developed the Lullabelly Prenatal Music Belt to enable mothers to play music to their unborn babies. Rather than having to stretch earphones over their bellies, expectant mothers could comfortably provide prenatal musical stimulation to their developing little ones. Hence, Lullabelly was born.

The Lullabelly Prenatal Music Belt has a speaker that can be plugged into an iPod, an iPhone, a CD player, MP3 player and has a built-in adjustable volume control dial that enables the mother to control separately the volume of her music as well as that of the baby's. Even at the maximum volume, the Lullabelly speaker produces a safe volume level that is equivalent to a mother or father singing or speaking directly to their unborn child within the mother's womb. The belt also has a large pocket in which can be carried a portable MP3 player or other small accessories.

The Lullabelly Prenatal Music Belt is very soft, adjustable to fit just about any woman's belly, lightweight, and machine washable. It can be worn against the belly or over clothes and can be used at home or while on the go.

The Lullabelly website provides information on the benefits of prenatal music stimulation and recommends that the belt should be worn starting around the third trimester of the pregnancy. It is also advised that the prenatal music stimulation should be used in moderation for no longer than an hour at a time for 2 to 3 times daily.

The Lullabelly Prenatal Music Belt can be purchased from www.lullabelly.com for $49.00 for the standard package which includes the speaker for the baby only and $55.00 for the deluxe package which provides the baby's speaker along with a dual earphone adapter and deluxe earphones with volume control for Mom. The belt is offered in patterns of either pink polka dots, green polka dots, or blue polka dots. If you would like to have the belt gift wrapped, you can pay an additional $2.50 to have this done.

A testimonial page is also provided on the Lullabelly website if you would like to read what some of the other proud owners of the Lullabelly Prenatal Music Belt have to say. I plan to purchase one of these belts for the next expectant mother in my family or circle of friends.
