The Ritmo Advanced Pregnancy Sound System, created by the American Nuvo group, means parents-to-be may be able to influence the musical taste of their unborn child. Research also shows that playing music to your unborn baby can have positive effects on your baby’s development.

The system, which you can plug your iPod into, straps around your tummy and transfers music or sounds to your womb at safe levels, irrespective of the volume settings on your device.

Not only does the sound system play music to your unborn baby, it can also play pre-recorded stories and lullabies from friends and family.
