Relaxation music for pregnancy, birth and baby
Our music has been written especially to help soothe, relax and calm your baby -in the womb and after birth.. Babies recognise music that has been played before their birth and will calm down on repeated listening. (see Dr. Alexandra Lamont's quotes - the Effect)

Therefore you can use our CD when, for example, giving birth - music played during childbirth can relieve expectant mothers' anxiety, help release endorphins and reduce the need for anesthesia, breast-feeding or when you and your family just
want to relax.

Stressed, irritable babies
Helpful for irritable, restless, stressed babies whether from colic, lack of sleep or general discomfort. Help your crying baby to relax naturally and become a little angel, so the whole family can relax and chill out.

So what is special about calmtime?
Calmtime is a natural, safe and effective way to soothe the whole family. The warm, intimate humming brings comfort and relaxation to mother-to-be, baby and everyone else.
Gentle music combines with natural sounds and the tempo of relaxed breathing. Our music acts on an emotional level - as one relaxes, eg. your baby, it's easier for parents to relax too.

Reviews
The Green Parent magazine
'This gentle relaxation CD is perfect for all the family. Warm, intimate humming and soft instrumentals combine to soothe babies and their parents off to sleep. It is very difficult to find fault with this CD. Whereas some compilations for babies can include grating vocals, this offers a mesmerising soundscape which can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. Daphne Nancholas is also a registered homeopath as well as providing the humming on Calmtime, so she is well aware of the healing needs of families.'

I'm Pregnant magazine

Comments
Here are some responses from mothers and fathers of young babies who have been using Calmtime:

Pregnancy
'During my last trimester Archie was very active, which caused a lot of discomfort. I started playing the Calmtime CD regularly and we both calmed down. Before, he had been kicking me a lot. I'm sure it helped with my labour as well. We both sailed through!' June, Cardiff, UK

'When I was heavily pregnanct I started to play the CD, most days. I'm sure she could tell. It seemed to calm her down straight away. It was a great relief for me.' Sally, Bristol, UK

Sleep
'Since playing the Calmtime CD when I put Molly down, the difference is amazing. Before, she would do anything to avoid getting sleepy and my husband and I rarely got more than a few hours sleep a night. Now she either drifts straight off to sleep or lies there dreamily and eventually gets off to sleep.’
Sarah, Reading, UK

'‘The girls had not been sleeping well with the heat and it was taking ages to get them off to sleep. I played them Calmtime the last couple of nights and they are sleeping well again.’
Cynthia, Bristol, UK

‘The first time we tried it out my wife fell off to sleep herself. Over the same period bed-time has been notably quicker and calmer. Thanks very much.' Hamish, Bristol, UK,

‘Calmtime makes me sleepy’ Jasmin, age 4

Breastfeeding
‘Zoe is my first child and breastfeeding was very painful. Often I was so tense, the milk wouldn’t come. Now I put on Calmtime first, which relaxes both of us and feeding her is now an enjoyable experience.’ Leslie, Bristol, UK

'I have played it every time I breast-feed my baby and for both of us it calms and relaxes.' Jacinda, Melbourne, Australia.

Family
'Apart from Calmtime helping settle my baby, it also relaxes the whole family. Now, as soon as we hear the beginning of the CD we start to chill'’ Chloe, Bristol, UK

Stress
'We play Calmtime every day at tea-time and what used to be a chaotic and stressful time is now calm and relaxed. And we enjoy the music.' Cynthia, Bristol, UK

'I enjoyed listening to Calmtime – and I’m not one to go out and buy a “new age” album – but, more importantly, it works. We were in the process of moving house and feeling pretty fraught. I put it on in the background without saying anything and we all became much calmer.’ Zoe, Brighton, UK

A Truly Wonderful Gift
'Thanks you so much for the superb CD. We play the music to Anthony at bedtime and it soothes him beautifully. The only trouble is that we tend to drop off as well! I am amazed by the effect it has - a truly wonderful gift - thank you.' Sarah and Alex, Lanner, Cornwall, UK’

Irritability
‘When Tom is really tired and irritable I put the Calmtime CD on quietly and it relaxes him. He’ll then play quite calmly and be much less demanding.’ Linda, Bristol, UK

Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties
'The child, who has PMLD, had been very restless and uncomfortable, but calmed while the disc was playing and remained calm, with eyes moving gently, as the water's musical journey continued. Other adults and children in the ward also said how calming they had found it.' Will Gosling, Head Teacher, Frenchay Hospital, Bristol, UK
