- Baby Homer Simpson? DVDs not for babies even if "Einstein" is in the name...
The name "Brainy Baby" is a nice way to lull parents into feeling okay about their babies watching t.v. and videos, but according to the American Academy of Pediatrics babies should not be exposed to television at all before they're 2 years old! According to Time Magazine and the Boston Globe,
".. researchers found that, among babies ages 8 months to 16 months, every hour spent daily watching programs such as 'Brainy Baby' or 'Baby Einstein' translated into six to eight fewer words in their vocabularies as compared with other children their age."
Another study shows that brain wave activity in babies is actually slower when watching television than when *sleeping*, and yet another study shows that for every hour of television a baby watches a day, their chances of having an attention deficit disorder increases 10%. (I.e. 5 hours a day = 50% greater chance of ADHD). I like to take William Sears' advice that "relationships, not things, make babies smarter". The easiest way to make babies smarter? Carry them in a sling, because it is proven to make them much smarter since they are relating to you physically, emotionally, verbally, and visually.
For more information, you can google "television and baby studies", or see the Listmania list "Natural Parenting for Baby's First Year".

- must have movie!
This movie is awesome. Keeps my 3 year old enthralled, and my newborn interested. It's also great soothing background music for the adults.
Rating: - Baby loves it
Product arrived in time to be shipped on for my grand-daughter's first birthday. She didn't have this dvd yet, and loves it. Her grandpa is a musician so we wanted to get her started in loving music. I hope to see it when they come to visit.
Rating: - wonderful!
Our baby has been hypnotized by this video from 3 months old and still loves it a 17 months. As she's gotten older she also LOVES Baby McDonald and Favorite Place. Some of the other Baby Einstein are less facinating, but these are great teachers and extremely entertaining for our (VERY verbal) girl.

- Keeps baby occupied
I got this as a baby shower gift. The content of this DVD doesn't seem that great. It's just music with a bunch of toys or other objects being flashed on the screen. I definitely wouldn't consider it educational. I first showed it to my daughter when she was 3 months and she could barely pay attention through the open credits. Then I tried a month later and she was more interested and watched the whole thing while I was able to make dinner. Recently I discovered that it is very useful for getting her to sit still and let me clip and file her nails! For that purpose alone, it's great b/c she never sits still very long for me to do this and wakes up if I try to do it in her sleep. However, now that she is 5 months, she doesn't seem as interested in watching the entire thing. She seems to watch it only about halfway to 2/3.
