Summary: Baby Love It
Comment: We purchased several more of the Baby Einstein videos bases on my daughters appreciation of this one. However, so far none of come close to Baby Mozart. My daughter has been engaged by the great combination of classical music and engaging images from 3 months to 9 months. I anticipate we will get a few more months out of it as well.

Summary: Baby Homer Simpson? DVDs not for babies even if "Einstein" is in the name...
Comment: 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".

Summary: Baby loves it
Comment: 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.

Editorial Reviews:

It's called "the Mozart Effect," the notion that exposing youngsters to the melodies of the maestro can improve verbal ability, spatial intelligence, creativity, and memory. It's a pretty big leap of faith to understand that effect unless you personally see a toddler react to the stimulation. The Baby Einstein folks have a series of tapes (Baby Einstein, Baby Bach) that add visual stimulation to the bouncy recordings (using vibraphone, Rhodes electric piano, and even a glockenspiel). The melodies are heard against colorful imagery of spinning tops, wave machines, soft baby toys, mobiles, and the like. Several parenting groups and magazines have heralded the tapes for children 1 to 36 months, but the Orwellian aspect of introducing babes in arms to the TV screen may cause many to just pick up the CD. --Doug Thomas
