"The Dethroned Dog" by Rory Evans
"According to trainers, one of the best ways to acclimate your dog to the new household dynamic is through newborn –simulating sensory stimulation in the months before the due date. For instance, play your dog a CD like The Sounds of Baby, which emulates infant noises, from toy squeaking to screeching…"

"I have used this CD both with my own dogs, and with many of my clients who were preparing for their own children. The range of sounds and increasing intensity makes this product better than others I’ve encountered on the market, as the CD is specifically designed to prepare your animals with the least amount of stress possible…"

"Makes a great and unusual gift for dog lovers who are expecting, as a sudden appearance of a new baby, apart from being the miracle that it is, does have the ability to bring quite a bit of chaos into any household."

"Preparing Your Companion For A New Baby" by Jenifer Vickery
Babies emit many new and unfamiliar noises, so you should introduce your dog to the sounds of a crying infant before the real one arrives—buy The Sounds of Baby. Play it quietly through the day. After a few weeks, turn up the volume, especially when your dog is doing something he particularly enjoys, such as eating, playing or being given a new bone. This will help him make a positive association with the noises.

The Bark, The Modern Dog Culture Magazine, Spring 2004
"Prior to the birth of their first child, Abbie and David Sinclair wondered how their dogs, Blue and Ruby, would greet the new arrival. Both dogs were well-trained, yet the couple worried how they might react to getting less attention. They followed all the steps suggested to them by professionals to prepare the dogs - but one that they hadn't primed them for were the sounds made by the newborn. Baby daughter Cameron's crying sent Blue scurrying under the bed, and it especially stressed out poor Ruby, who seemed anxious and fretted when the baby wailed. With her background in film an TV, and with a history of animal rescue, Abbie had the idea (once their household 'settled' down) to do something to help others to cope with the 'babies and dogs' dilemma. She spent months recording Cameron and other babies - 6 hours of 'ambient baby sounds' and edited them down to 3 tracks to produce her The Sounds of Baby CD. Abbie hopes the CD will 'help other families to grow while continuing to enjoy the magic of a beloved pet.' This audio desensitizing recording is meant to be used as a supplement to basic obedience training, and should be played while a dog is being fed, preparing for a walk, or doing other activities with positive associations. This is a helpful gift for a pregnant friend, or a novel one for an 'empty nester' who misses bygone baby-filled days."

"New Baby Petiquette"
"Bringing home a new baby turns life upside down for everyone in the household, including your pet...it's best to start preparing them for baby's arrival early on....Play tapes of babies cooing and crying....The Sounds of Baby is perfect for this."

Herbivore, Vegetarian Culture, Issue Four, April 2004
"...Track one intrigues with adorable cooing, track two provokes with a bit of crying and toy sounds, and by track three my dog was running around, looking for the abandoned baby and knocking the speakers over. But if you introduce the tracks slowly, increase the volume gradually, and reassure your hairy friend, then The Sounds of Baby is an amazing tool that prepares both pet and person alike. "
