Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Developed under the guidance of physician Fred Schwartz, the Transitions recordings serve both to enhance the miracle of childbirth and to aid infant sleep. Looking to reduce the stress of parents and infant children, musicians Joe and Burt Wolff worked with Dr. Schwartz to combine digital samples of actual womb sounds, barely discernable female vocals, and the soft wash of other atmospheric sounds. Recommended by childbirth educators and infant-development specialists for its relaxing effect, Transitions has been clinically proven to stimulate the blood oxygen levels of premature infants in critical care. For weary parents on a midnight walkabout to quiet agitated babies, it's a blessing that induces sleep almost magically. --Paige La Grone

5.0 out of 5 stars Most relaxing cd in the world!, April 20, 2004

By	"gabbyraja" (Lansing, MI United States) - See all my reviews

I bought this cd to play in the background while practicing my hypnobirthing techniques for my upcoming birth, and to play for the baby during bedtime. I read the diclaimer about not playing while in a vehicle and scoffed. The first time I played it I was waiting in the car for my husband and fell asleep in 2 minutes flat! I played it at my birth and stayed remarkably calm and relaxed. I've played it for the baby every single time she's fallen asleep for her entire 8 months and it works wonders. I LOVE this cd and highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensible, April 17, 1999

By	Bill Herring, LCSW (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This and the companion CD will convince even die-hard skeptics that peaceful music combined with the maternal heartbeat as heard in utero create a relaxing environment that will soothe babies and help them sleep longer. We used it with our firstborn for at least a year, and are welcoming our second child with it as well. This is a wonderful gift for new parents. There are many wonderful CD's to help infants sleep. Some contain words, which babies like, such as "Daddies Sing Good Bedtime". Carol Rosenberger is a pianist who has released several CDs of relaxing clasical pieces, such as "Reverie". Of course, depending on your tastes you could use Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue", Steve Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians", or almost any piece that is hypnotic, rhythmic and soothing. But far and away, the Transitions CD are perfect for lulling babies to sleep. You cannot go wrong with this one. Truly indispensible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Transitions:Soothing Music for Crying Infants, January 17, 2004

By A Customer

I am a Labor and Delivery nurse who used this tape until it wore out. My patients loved the music and the calming effect it had on them. When the doctors would enter my patient's rooms and they heard the music they knew that the patients would be relaxed, in contol and calmed by the Transitions tape. I also used the music for my sons when they were young. They would beg not to have the "baby music" played as they knew that they could not stay awake while it played. Happily this single mom enjoyed some quiet time while the boys napped. I would highly rate this tape/cd as it is so very peaceful. Every childbirth instructor should use this music to teach relaxation. I am buying it again for me!
