I am a Developmental Psychologist, and I have emailed CBB about advertising this machine. My post was not published. The scientific claims behind the BabyPlus have not been properly substantiated and I do not think we know enough about it to advocate its use. This is putting it mildly.

Emperor’s New Clothes.

The baby racket will never cease to pray upon nervous new parents who have cash to burn.

Is there any way to prove or disprove the functionality of this device? Noooooo.

I agree with KWKW. This gadget sounds ridiculous.

Nicole is looking wonderful! So glad to see she’s taking this pregnancy very seriously, and has really changed her old ways.

The gadget she was purchasing sounds kind of silly, IMO. “Educating” a baby in this way, while still in utero? No thanks, and especially the 150.00! I just chose to talk and sing to mine while they were in there. Money was very well spent AFTER they were born for things they actually needed.

I’ve always been impressed by CBB’s journalistic integrity, which makes this post quite disturbing. The final paragraph sounds like an advertisement for the product, and the bold claims of enhanced cognitive development are not supported by empirical research (or common sense, for that matter). I wish the post simply noted Nicole’s interest and other celebrities who have purchased the product. Endorsing the product’s claims is both irrelevant and misleading.
