The [Libero](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alcoholremoved-tasting-flight) BabyBuzz is a tool that encourages partners to consider pregnancy as a joint process. Though only one partner actually carries a child during pregnancy, it's essential for the other partner to contribute in various ways -- but fathers often find pregnancy difficult to fully grasp. The Libero BabyBuzz lets fathers [feel when their unborn child kicks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doola), rolls, or moves around, making the pregnancy more tangible for them.

BabyBuzz is a bracelet that connects to mothers' and fathers' smartphones via Bluetooth. Whenever the mother feels the baby moving, she can activate her bracelet and send a signal to the father. Then, no matter where he is, he'll feel the movement vicariously through his BabyBuzz.

According to couples who've used the system, it feels almost like receiving a text message straight from their unborn child.
