"Thank you for including us in your fabulous research. The music selection is harmonious and peaceful. My son, Tyler and I have enjoyed the Sleepy Baby and Cheerful Baby CDs during naptime, sleeptime and playtime."

"During playtime I saw many positive results in my son's mood and alertness while listening to the music and after music time. He appeared to attend to his jungle gym toys for longer periods of time while music was on. During post music moments he continued to play with his toys at an elevated level."

"Prior to the field test with the Sleepy Baby CDs we noticed my son required a lot of rocking to fall asleep. During the fourteen-day test period I have noticed my son being able to sleep on his own with less rocking and holding stimulation from my husband or myself. Tyler can be semi-sleepy and placed into his crib with the Sleepy Baby music on and within five to fifteen minutes be asleep. I have also noticed that if I do not play the music at bedtime he will not go into such a deep slumber."

"I highly recommend The Music for Babies Series for young children birth to 36 months."

"My 10-month old thought it was the funniest thing in the world when I'd pick him up and swing him around in my arms as we listened to the Cheerful Baby CD. He'd giggle and smile! It made us both so happy."

"We thoroughly enjoyed all the music from Music for Babies. The Sleepy Baby CD was fantastic. All I needed to do was push the button to turn them on and my baby was calmed down. He would hear the music and relax. He went from needing to be rocked all night to being able to fall asleep on his own."

"Cheerful Baby was wonderful for our family as well. We played many times with the music in the background accompanied by squeals of delight. We have accomplished many milestones while listening to this music. Some include; rolling over, scooting, beginning to sit-up and beginning new cooing sounds. This music helped us establish a playtime routine that we now cherish."

"During the first session my daughters' mood notably improved from her typical happy self to elated. She began dancing and smiling in response to the music. As a typical two year old, she usually asks for the television. Her mother and I both noted independently that she was not asking for the television when the music was on and less than usual after the music had stopped. After listening, she seemed to be in an uninterruptible good mood for hours."

"I have been using the Music for Babies CD's with my baby every night while he feeds and falls asleep. The music is perfect for the background to drown out the disruptive sounds that would normally startle him awake and I feel provides a secure familiar environment. The melodies are subtle yet soothing, also for the mother as I find myself humming along with him and even singing the melodies at odd times with him during the day. The fact the volume tapers off on Sleepy Baby, saves me from running in to quiet the music once he's asleep. By simply leaving the CD in or by the CD player I'm able to play it at odd times during the day when I feel he needs grounding. Sarsen was 2 1/2 months when I started the CD, now at 4 months old I feel he's familiar with it."

"I don't know if you have gotten any feedback on The Music for Babies Series yet…but I wanted to pass on some items: Several parents are amazed, and have asked if they can "buy stock in the company", and called results "miraculous". Things I expected have happened: increased or first babbling, sleeping through the night for first times, "fits" of temper that quickly dissipate with music initiation, tolerance for hair-brushing for the first time in 2 years of life, heightened muscle tone which has created rolling, crawling, and standers in those who had not before achieved these milestones."

"An unplanned benefit has been APPETITE in several who had been totally disinterested in eating, and one youngster whose foster mom had always covered the floor with plastic and newspapers before his meals is now reportedly eating without any mess or knock-overs. So numerous folks in Kentucky are ready to offer ABT up for sainthood!"

Have a wonderful day!

Most sincerely,
Pam Shearer

"When Shane was one week old we started listening to The Music for Babies Series. Immediately the whole family loved the music. I was amazed at how the music affected Shane. During the Cheerful Baby music, he was very alert & quiet. You could tell he was listening to the music. The Sleepy Baby music was very soothing; it even put us parents to sleep a couple times! Even now at eight weeks old, Shane responds well to the music. This is excellent music for babies in my opinion."

"I use both Cheerful Baby and Sleepy Baby with my twin daughters Julia and Marguerite (Maggie). Cheerful Baby had the most effect on Julia. Julia had Torticollis at birth. As an infant she had to go through physical therapy to stretch and strengthen the muscles of her neck. This was a necessary therapy but as a result she became defensive when having her head and neck touched. She would stiffen and pull away. Within a few days of listening she became very affectionate, gave hugs and accepted them, and no longer minded her head and neck being touched."

"Sleepy Baby had the most effect on Maggie. She is a very active baby and has a hard time settling down to fall asleep. My husband and I were working on teaching her to fall asleep on her own. We did not want to have to rock her to sleep each night. After several days of listening to the music she began falling asleep on her own at bedtime and naps. Now we say good night, put her in her crib and she puts herself to sleep. We still use these CD's along with ABT's Sound Health Series CD's for play and sleep."
