Closed: Sound Beginnings by Creative Labs, Inc. Review & Giveaway







  
Having a baby is one of the best times in a mom's life. And as a mommy, we want to bond with our babies even before they arrive. There is a unique device that provides a way for mommy, and for that matter, family and friends to bond with your baby-to-be. And it doesn't matter how far away they are.  The Sound Beginnings and Sound Delivery by Creative Baby Inc. is a system that allows a mother to share with her baby, whether it be her loving voice or music. 


The first thing that makes Sound Beginnings special to me is the Sound Delivery service that will allow anyone with access to a telephone to record messages.  Their service will then convert that recorded messages to an MP3 file, which can later be accessed online and downloaded to by mom. This would be great for military families! Even while deployed, Dad can bond! It is also good for the Grandparents that are far away and want to bond.









I received a Sound Beginnings in black and immediately set to try it out. It is comfortable and easy to use. It is a  nylon/lycra band, kinda like the belly bands we wear when pregnant. It has integrated waterproof speakers that are perfectly positioned to play to the baby. Another great feature is that it has a headphone splitter so both mom and baby can listen at the same time.

Safe

The high quality speakers are designed to keep total sound output to a level that is safe for baby. Low power output means no risk of shock to mom or baby.

Comfortable

The device is comfortable enough to be worn on the go & there is no need to remove the band when not in use.

No batteries required

Just plug in any MP3 device and play.

No assembly/disassembly required

Machine washable on the gentle cycle using cold water. Just tuck the wire into the convenient front pocket, secure the Velcro and wash on gentle using cold water. Air dry only. Do not machine dry. (See enclosed instructions)

Headphone splitter included

Allowing mom or dad to listen with baby.

A 1-Year Limited Warranty

Comes with every SoundBeginnings product.









All parents want to provide their babies with a sound, healthy start in life. The Sound Beginnings pre-natal sound delivery device lets parents and family bond with the baby like never before, sharing music, voice, and sound with their child in the third trimester.

I learned that it is safe because it limits the decibel level of the speakers.
