Oct 26 2009The Lullabelly: Music To Your (Baby's) Ears
The Lullabelly is a prenatal (I love those vitamins!) musical belt that pregnant women can strap on and connect to an MP3 player so they can play tunes to their babies while the little tykes are in utero. It's supposed to make them smarter or something but it will probably just make them want a drum set when they're young and fill your house with cacophony and make daddy drink more (I say go for it).
There's a volume control dial so things don't get too loud as well as a pocket for holding your player, and the whole thing is machine washable, after you take out the easy-to-remove speaker of course. It's available in 3 different fabric patterns (pink, green or blue polka dots) directly from the Lullabelly website for $55.
Pregnant women are beautiful, aren't they? God, sometimes I wish I could experience childbirth. But not as a father -- as a mother. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Did I get anybody? You all know me too well.

We played Bob Marley, Gnarls Barkley, ALO & Phish for my daughter before she was born. Now she loves them. She knows Bob Marley by music, or picture now.

Come on man. As if there wasn't enough noise pollution out here. Now even the unborn can't escape.
Absolutely rediculous idea.

"There's a volume control dial so things don't get too loud..."
Exactly where does the mother shove the volume control?
Hey-oooH!

TOTALLY thought that pregnant chick was about to flash me!!! Which would've been cool b/c at the moment I do not got milk.
CN - I tried the same thing with my oldest boy and rockin' out the Zeppelin...sonofabitch started stealing all my weed and acid though (not to mention the whole talks-with-british-accent-but-sings-without-one thing...creepy). Then I went with Sinatra for the second, but he started mackin' on all the hotties I'd bring home and hangin' out with some really shady characters (nothing proven, mind you, please don't put a hit out on me). So from here on out...it's nothing but Ennio Morricone (that kid'll come out one squintin', straight shootin', bad ass).

Mr. GW, you remind me way to much of myself..............

Babies are gonna come out looking like Eminem and The Beatles. Definitely doesnt make your kid smarter until hes actually out. Their brains are still developing. They cant learn until they hit a certain stage in the development phase.

My kid got music the good old fashioned way... big assed speakers at full blast.... Guns, Metallica, Iron, Zeppelin, Metallica... smarter that most kids his age... in the smartass kinda way, i'm really tempted to kick him the gonads somedays... 13 and in a rock band... damn i don't understand where that came from...

I don't know bout u guys, but why the hell would the babies need music. The only thing they're gonna hear is what us geeks hear from the outside of a nightclub... the distorted, muffled rumble from the bass. Do you really think we need to introduce that crap to our next generations of geeks at such a young age? At least if they are gonna be our next geeks, let them do what we did and find out on their own.

My child will listen to (INSERT DEATH METAL BAND HERE) and that will be kewl as helz man! Actually, I'm sure my kid will listen to classical music. Yep, kind of parentally lame like that.

Are pregnant women still wasting their money on crap like this.
Someone should tell them that the "Mozart Effect" has been debunked.
28. brensen - October 27, 2009 7:11 PM
Wow, I though geeks were supposed to be smart. My apologies for those educated folks that are posted here. Perhaps the editor of Geekologie should have written, "posting comments is for adults only"!

Hmmm, I call bullshit.
I'm pretty sure Mythbusters proved that in order for babies in utero to have a chance to hear music with any kind of fidelity (i.e. not sounding like someone talking into a pillow in the next room), a basic computer speaker would need to be held up against the belly and played at between 120 and 140 decibels.
Additionally there is no statistical proof to back up claims of music improving the child in some way.
If anything, I think it's the "self-fulfilling prophecy" principle in parents encouraging good results from the child.

I bought this Lullabelly one month ago. For me, the price is expensive, but this product is worth for every penny. It didn't disappoint me when i got it. Very easy to use. And occssionally, I bought a very cheap but still useful iPhone app at App Store: Prenatal Lullabies. It is just $1.99. Further cheap than Lullabelly. The two stuffs work well on me. The lullaby of them are gentle and fine-tuned. GOOD Match.
