Baby Babble - Speech-Enhancing DVD for Babies and Toddlers

This is one of my favorite child/baby shows. All four of my children loved watching this when they were babies. About 8 years ago, I came across Baby Babble at the library, and checked it out. My daughter was so enthralled, I actually purchased it. No. Its not high tech. Yes, the speech therapists clothes/hair styles are dated. But who cares? The video is not brand new! It was made 12 years ago. What I loved about it was the fact that it enhanced my childrens speech. They still love the movie whenever I play it for my 20-month-old. Even if it doesnt enhance your babys speech, it can entertain them for 20-30 minutes while you cook some dinner!

My son had speech delays and his speech blossomed once he started watching this. About 16 months later, I had his speech tested and he was over three years ahead! I am not promising miracles but this DVD was part of my sons miracle. Not to mention my children absolutely loved watching this. To an adult, it may not seem like much but to a toddler, it is very enjoyable.

This had so many positive reviews that I thought the negative ones were just exgaerating. No, these DVDs really are worthless (to me at least). Our daughter is not autistic so if it helps with those kids great but this video did not show me anything profound. Maybe if you never talk to your kid or know how to play with your kid then maybe you may learn something but I didnt & felt like I wasted my money. All it was a low budget movie that shows different toys & makes noise. Like a popping toy & it goes pop pop pop. Or flashes balloons & says up, down & what color the balloon is. My daughter has a ball pit & I throw the balls up & say up & when she hands me balls I tell her what color they are. Why do I need a DVD to do that? She gets more from interacting with me. Randomly the ladies pop on the screen & will stick out their tounge or make a sound with their lips but thats all. If I want my daughter to stick out her tounge I show her a flash card that says tounge or simply ask her to show me her tounge. Again, why did I pay $17 for that? When we had our daughter evaluated by ECI & they noticed a slight speech delay even they said they arent going to do anything magical just to keep reading, singing & doing what we are doing. She uses signs & can communate quite effectively through gestures so I guess when she is ready she will talk & your kids will too. Save your money & just do the usuall - Identify objects they point to, incorporate signing, read, sing & try to remember to narriate every little mundane thing you are doing. Best wishes to you & your family.

My son is almost 2.5 and not exactly talking the way some kids do at that age. I bought this video to help and it made such a difference! I showed him to mimic the video and he watches it multiple times a day! Every time he says more and more and its just magical to see and hear! He started playing differently with his toys; making the noises or saying the words as they do on the video. He received these blocks that needed batteries to work for his birthday. But, instead of me putting them in, he took the blocks, put one on top of the other and said on top, -- just as they do in the video. I was shocked!

Bought both dvds for my 20 month old who wasnt saying much. He is progressing normally and is physically very active but his speech skills are still not very developed. So in an effort to be proactive, i chose these videos to show my son.. my son LOVED both. and not only that, they also taught my son to sign More, say ga ga ga for drink, say oh ho tsk tsk, improved his command of the letter B, showd him how and when to say TA.DA. so while its not like he is talking in full sentences or has any major improvment in vocab, still i did find these useful in the way my son imitated some of the words and actions.. this is good coz he wasnt imitating me before. so i was very impressed though i wish they had more videos too coz my son is now done with these two after watching them excessively for few weeks:)

My 15 month old son loves this DVD! Along with Your Baby Can Read, this video has been instrumental in his growth and development. He does a great job repeating the sounds. They also have included sign language which is wonderful because I have been signing with our son since birth so it reinforces what he has been learning. I really do appreciate this video.

Hepful for my nephew

My little boy loves this dvd laughed out loud at first viewing ...it has helped him in the sense that he is making a lot more sounds than ever before .

I bought this DVD for my granddaughter who is behind in her speech development. She has learned several new words and concepts from it and constantly asks me to play this DVD. I would recommend it to parents or grandparents who wish to assist their children or grandchildren with speech development.

This is a very poorly recorded two women trying to teach the parent the baby sign language- just couple of signs and pictures of plastic toys !!!! All these info can be found on the internet free of charge !! I do not recommend this product!!!
