How to Have a Smarter Baby: The Infant Stimulation Program for Enhancing Your Baby's Natural Development

Great book, now I recomend it to all my friends. You should read it when pregnant; it gives you a lot of tips for infant stimulation and they work!

Highly important in today's world. That we really understand that our babies are aware and "hearing" everything that goes on is critical! Welcoming these new souls and acknowledging their presence early and positively is critical for the future of the world. See birthpsychology.com for more reasons and deeper understanding!

I read HOW TO HAVE A SMARTER BABY in 1985, the year my daughter was born. Did everything the book recommended, from pre-natal music to development of all of the infant's primary senses. Everything came easily to this daughter -- who is now High Honors in high school, and by class ranking, one of the smartest children in her high school class. She learned the alphabet by the time she was 2, could read by the time she was 4, has always had a spectacular memory and is headed towards an ivy league college. In large part, I am sure, HOW TO HAVE A SMARTER BABY played a role in her scholastic success.

As with all books you read, half of what you read you may or may not agree. However I read this book when I was pregnant in '97 and had my baby in '98. My little guy was a pleasure because I was able to read and interpret his actions such as knowing when he is receptive to learning and when he needs quiet time to just be himself. It also taught how to respond so that he calmed down because I reacted so calmly to his crying or cooing. I definitely will reread for my second pregnancy.

I love this book. It has age apropriate games to play w/ your baby from birth to 6 months. I especially like the information it gives on the fetus and it's capabilities. It is awesome information. I read this book while I was pregnant in 98. It really opened my eyes on the magnificents of it all. My baby is seven months old now and I believe she is advanced because of the infant stimulation in this book, thank you!
