Questions about Heartbeat Lion

Can I re-record the heartbeat later?

Yes. The Heart Module can be re-recorded any time, so you can update it as your child grows — from heartbeat, to first words, to a special message.

What if my ultrasound clinic won't let me record audio?

Most clinics are happy for you to record on your phone during the scan. If in doubt, ask beforehand — you just need 20 seconds of clear heartbeat sound.

How long does the recording last?

The Heart Module stores up to 20 seconds of audio and replays it indefinitely on a replaceable battery — the recording itself never expires.

Is this a good baby shower gift?

It's one of the most meaningful gifts available — a keepsake of the baby's heartbeat from the womb that the whole family can treasure for years.
