Summary: Mimi's Xmas Gift!
Comment: Bought this for my twin grandaughters for Christmas since they love their Baby Einstein! They loved it! We also enjoyed listening to the Christmas music!

Summary: Christmas Einstein
Comment: My little girl is 5 months old & LOVES Baby Einstein! We watch one of their movies nearly every night before story and bedtime.
And now that's it's Christmas time we watch all the Christmas specials but this is still her favorite. Plus there is such a diverse culture on this DVD. If you listen they play Jewish and Chinese celebration songs too.

Summary: My toddler loves this one!
Comment: One of the best of the baby einstein dvds, especially for Christmas. It juxtaposes classic holiday music with timeless images and entertaining puppet shows. My 14 mo. old especially loves the dogs running through the snow, the horse-drawn sleigh, the little girls twirling in their pretty dresses, and the pretty babies.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Disappointed
Comment: My daughter was bored by this one. It just didn't seem to flow like some of the other Baby Einstein videos. Also, the music didn't seems especially Christmas-y or festive. I would not recommend this one. Buy Baby Mozart, the First Moves or First Signs videos instead.

Summary: American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no television under age of two years!
Comment: The name "Baby Einstein" can lull you into thinking it's okay or even good for babies to watch t.v., but the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no television at all to children under 2 because so many studies have proven its harmful effects on children. Studies have shown that:
- for every hour of television a baby watches a day, their chances of acquiring an attention deficit disorder increases by 10%.
- 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."
- brain wave activity in babies is slower when watching television than when sleeping.
I believe television should be used SPARINGLY and with caution, and without any delusions of it increasing baby's intelligence. As for making them more intelligent, Dr. William Sears says, "relationships, not things, make babies smarter." The easiest way to make babies smarter and calmer is to carry them a lot. Slings, pouches and carriers help make this more manageable. Studies have shown that:
- carrying babies an extra 3 hours a day resulted in 40% less crying.
Babies who are frequently carried are proven to pick up verbal skills faster, and develop better core muscle strength and balance. My Listmania list "Natural Parenting for Baby's First Year" has more information on babywearing, or you can google "babywearing" or "television and baby studies" for your own research.
Crown Crafts The Original NoJo BabySling by Dr. Sears - Black Chambray is a great starter sling.
Finally, I'd suggest "SIGNING TIME" videos - not to be confused with "Baby Signing Time" - as a last resort for OCCASIONAL viewing instead of other baby videos because at least baby can learn sign language. Communicating in sign language is proven to:
- reduce frustration and tantrums
- accelerate language development
- promote parent-child bonding
I found the entire series at my local library. I especially liked Signing Time! Volume 4: Family, Feelings & Fun DVD and 'naming' feelings also increases emotional intelligence in babies.
