Expectant mothers can now share their iTunes music library with their unborn child. Designer Geof Ramsay took the "Baby Mozart" effect to a whole new level when he created the 'B(I)aby' belly band, which is effectively a set of headphones for a fetus in the womb.

Combining the latest touch-sensitive controls and the power of [Apple's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-level-smart-headphones) 3G [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hires-headphone-amplifier), 'B(I)aby' could be the coolest iPhone gadget yet.

Now [Pandora](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pandora-ai) radio will have to create a new “Baby Music” genre. Rock on, baby. Rock on.
