Feedback
Our daughter came, in the 35th week of gestation, 26/07/2006 into the world, her lungs were not fully developed, she had a serious lung infection that required two blood transfusions and had two heart defects. I searched the Internet and came to this site, ordered this CD and played it to my daughter regularly which impressed me , the doctors + nurses also. As her breathing and her heartbeat normalized, less O2 was needed and both she and I relaxed. Two years have passed and we still listen to the CD almost every day to relax after a stressful day, just great.

The Situation: Prematurity
- The number of the premature infants born each year increases. Every year, an estimated 15 million babies are born preterm (before 37 completed weeks of gestation) (WHO 2018).
- The medical and technical possibilities are meanwhile very good. The incubator helps the babies to develop and stabilize all vital functions such as the heart and respiration rate.
- Through the use of medicines the not yet sufficiently developed vital functions are additionally supported.
- It is a new tendency to improve premature babies quality of life in the NICU and their developmental period followed thereafter to reduce or avoid damages beyond that.
Problem
Through the necessary medical equipment, preemies in the incubators are exposed to a high noise volume. It is not possible to avoid the environmental noise by the hospital personnel in the respective unit rooms. The baby’s hearing is already completely developed in the 6th pregnancy month and it hears everything, it is thereby additionally set under stress. Prof Dr. Christoph Vogtmann “Some medical equipment such as ventilators produce noise levels between 80 – 90 decibel, comparing to loud traffic noises.”
Result
Due to the medical progress today the chances of survival for prematurely born babies are very high.
The risk of health impairments in later life can be decreased by additional therapies.
Objective
The objective was to develop a special musical sound world co-ordinated with the situation of the preemies in the incubator.
The aim of the therapy is to invite babies in a completely natural and gentle way into life.
A music therapy which helps to support the important vital functions of the preemies:
• Stabilization of Respiration and Heart Frequency.
In order to optimize the oxygen in the blood and brain.
• Creation of a sheltered atmosphere for the baby through a special music therapy.
It should not only quieter than the noises in the incubator and the surrounding noise, but absorb them in the best possible way.
After years of highly detailed work our harmonizing music for NICU babies was born, we called it:
“The Breath of a New Life“.

Letters from parents who use our music
Our Leonie came into the world four and a half years ago. In the 32nd week of gestation, her lungs were not fully developed and her heart rate frequency decreased. I searched for and ordered this CD immediately. Even in the hospital they were all thrilled. The CD is still routine listening after almost four and a half years. It is simply fantastic.
