Baby Babble - Speech-Enhancing DVD for Babies and Toddlers

We have a 2 year old with CAS. He loves the videos and weve seen increased vocal play and increased word attempts since hes started viewing them.

We got this as a precautionary measure for our 18 month old triplets, since triplets are usually speech delayed. After maybe 10 or so views, our babies were mimicing the sounds that the video speakers repeated. It was very cute: If the video voice said Pop! Pop! Pop!, pretty soon I had 3 little babies in a row, laughing and going Pop! Pop! Pop! Or maybe it was Bop Bop Bop. Anyway, they had fun while they were learning, which I count as a victory. I think it really helped that I usually watched the video with them, and made the noises or words myself right along with the video (After a few views youll have it memorized too, I promise!). Monkey see, Monkey do! So they werent just copying the video, they were copying Mommy too. I also tried to incorporate their concepts into the babies daily play, such as, Ball in, Ball out, Ball down I agree with other reviewers that the video feels old and low budget. However, remember the purpose of the video: to teach your child to understand communication concepts, make their own babble, and hopefully to talk. I disagree that Id want them distracted with flashy lights and loud sounds. I want them to focus on the lips of the speaker and think about the word they are communicating, and I think that would get lost with too much bright flashy action. I think this video is brilliant in that it captures their attention just enough and does what its intended to do: Get your child talking!

this video is so horrible its scary... and creepy. absolute waste of money.

I ordered this dvd because of all the great reviews. I am very pleased with it. My son is a very energetic 17 month old. He does not speak many words 5 words to be exact. this is the FIRST time ever that he sits still and watches tv. He will take my hand and guide me to his toy room and point to the tv. He is watching it now as I do this review. Did I mention he is a very active and busy toddler. I will be purchasing series 2 and 3. Oh and he also is interacting with this dvd. It is great, educational and my son loves it.

This will hold my speech-delayed 3-year-olds attention for a few minutes, but thats about it. She likes the music, but then, she likes ALL music. I dont think the sound lessons are anything she doesnt get and hasnt been getting from her many speech therapists. We prefer the Signing Time series which are great for language development and have made a vast improvement in my daughters ability to communicate.

My little one has been watching this since he was 5 months old and he is now 8 months. He absolutely loves it. Its colorful and bright and keeps him very interested. He doesnt have any developmental issues that Im aware of so far, I just read all the great reviews and decided to get it. My baby has never cared to watch any of the other DVDs his brother owns like Veggie Tales or Baby Einstein. However whenever I put this on he is immediately engaged. It has become a lifesaver when he gets really fussy. I can put this on and the fussing stops for the entire duration. I have to admit the first time we played it my husband and I found ourselves very much engaged ourselves. I really cant tell if it does anything for his speech development as he is still so young but I would much rather have him watch this than some of the other stuff thats out there for kids.

My 15 month old son loves this video. We have had this DVD for about 3 months now. I usually watch it with him and we work on the sounds, signs, and mouth movements together. It is nice for parent-child interaction because they have time in between the clips so I dont feel rushed. The best part though, is that he has increased his talking by 100% since we got the video. We watch it several times a week when he requests it by saying bab bab while he dances around like the bear in one of their clips. It is a great resource-- especially for parents of children that are in the beginning talking and babbling stage of development.

Our Two year s grandson loves this Vide

I believe this video says for up to age 36 months. We purchased it around 30 months and my son was terribly bored with it. We sent it back. Im honestly not sure how any kids would be interested in it, but we didnt let our little guy watch tv until he was 2 so maybe it appeals to younger kids? We had better luck reading Dr. Seuss to him.

My son, 22 months old had lost interest in Baby Einstein DVDs, so I was a little skeptical of gettting this DVD. Im so glad I was willing to give it a try. Since watching this about five times, he has said says some words for the first time: bubble, night-night, please, more, various animal sounds, and eat. Hes even using a couple of signs when up to this point, he did not model our signing at all. He also follows all of the oral motor exercises. I find it to have good sound and video quality, unlike a previous viewer. It gets 4 rather than 5 stars from me simply because I would have liked to see more words being modelled such as phone, cup, and toy. These are items already used in the video but not mentioned by name. I highly recommend this as an addition to any DVD collection for young children.
