Baby Babble - Speech-Enhancing DVD for Babies and Toddlers

Our nearly two year old daughter is speech delayed. We started with Baby Einstein videos about two months ago. They are very entertaining; my daughter can watch them over and over. However, they are light on the educational content needed to help her speak. We then moved to Baby Bumblebee videos about a month ago. They contain the repetitive content, which helps her speak. However, the repetition can be a bit boring; it took several tries to keep her focused. Baby Babble combines the best of Baby Einstein and Baby Bumblebee videos; Baby Babble is both entertaining and repetitive. In addition, there are segments with sign language and humans actually making sounds with their mouths. Out daughter just watched it for the first time tonight. She was captivated; she started iniating and repeating some words without prompting. Every child is different, but I recommend that people start with Baby Babble and then go to other brands. Rather by buy one video that is entertaining, another that is repetitive, yet another that has sign language, etc., buy one video, Baby Babble.

It is outdated like others stated but at least my baby watches it. Weve only gotten half way because she gets impatient. We also havent been consistent so I cant really say whether it works or not.

At age 22 months my son was diagnosed with autism and had only one word. Baby Baby Babble was the first speech video I purchased for him and it immediately made a huge impact - he was drawn to the videos visual stimulation and more importantly, he began to imitate sounds, words, oral postures and sign language after just a few viewings. Soon we heard these words and saw the signs carried into everyday play and requests, it was quite amazing. We wished there was a Baby Babble part 2! The video really helped to jump start his speech development. One year later he has well over 100 words and signs. I also recommend the Signing Times series. Now age 3, my son enjoys Signing Times faster pace (although he still likes Baby Babble as well!) and the whole family is learning sign language with him.

My child really didnt like the dvd, it didnt keep his attention at all. The dvd itself was short and didnt have alot of imformation which was repeated. My son is 2 1/2 and he didnt care for this dvd.

My daughter Taylor is 33 months old and has delayed speech development. My husband came across Baby Babble and ordered it for her. I was concerned that it may be too young for her, since it had indicated that it was for age 3 to 30 months. Also, she usually doesnt usually warm up to new videos unless she is familiar with the characters. But I have to tell you, from the very first time we played it, she was captivated. She was repeating all the sounds and signs. She was dancing along with the dancing bear. It was amazing! She loved it! She watches it every day now, and sometimes more than once! It always brings a smile to her face. It has only been a little over week since we first played Baby Babble for Taylor, and she is already starting to communicate for the first time! Instead of grunting and pointing, she is now saying MORE and making the sign for MORE. She also now says and signs PLEASE and THANK YOU. It is amazing! I only wish there were more volumes! I would definitely want to buy more!

As previous posts have pointed out its Not the most modern filming but the content seemed very useful and at the end of the day its for children not adults. I bought this for my first baby 2 years ago and he loves it now my 7 month watches it and loves it too. I really believe this helped my son with his developments. The sign language really helped during those fustrating times of communication when he couldnt talk. Would def recommend.

I loved this video. It came quickly and has been great. I have a 4 month old and a 3 1/2 year old (with a stutter) and they were both glued to the TV my older son was making all the sounds and shaping his mouth the way they were and my younger son was just cooing the entire time. Thank you for the parent tutorials as well.

I bought this because my oldest daughter (nearly 3) does not talk other than the occasional no no no and very rare love you. My spouse and I have talked to her docter about it repeatedly and they keep telling us to put her in day care, which is just not an option we are willing to consider. We think speech therapy is exactly what she needs, but thanks doc, no referral. So, it arrived about a week ago, I couldnt wait to pop it in and watch it with her, my first reaction was disappointment, I thought surely she wont find this interesting, the appearance is so bad, very home movie. She LOVES it, she likes copying all the funny sounds and faces the women make. We play it three times a day, first thing in the morning, after nap time in the afternoon, and before bed, shes gone from only saying those two things to saying thank you, drink, eat, up, down, in, out, night night, mama (my favorite)... she even counts to five, the great thing is it teaches all these things to your child in context, so shes not just memorizing sounds. Also, if youre worried about the rats sequence mentioned in one of the bad reviews, dont be, its a toy mouse poking in and out of a toy block of swiss cheese, while a voice says in, out! These are great DVDs, my childs frustration level has gone down so much because shes finally able to communicate. Background on my daughter and her difficulty with speech, her little sister was born when she was 13 months old, her development had been perfectly normal until then, but having a new baby upset her so she regressed a lot, and in my attempt to make it easier for her I made the mistake of anticipating her every desire, so she never had to ask for anything (bad mommy award). Also, if youre concerned the 50 minute runtime is too long for your child, its actually only about 25-30 minutes, the rest is for the parents.

Our son is 4 1/2 and is verbal with babble but no real words. He loves this dvd! He made his first attempts at immitating the sounds after just 3 days. The toys and visuals keep him interested. Can you please make more??? We even ordered a copy for his autistic pre-school class.

We just received this DVD a few days ago. Our son is 17 months & has a few words but we wanted to give him a boost with his language development. This is a great tool. He LOVES it, and is so captivated he will sit down and actually watch the program. He is engaging with it & trying to make the sounds along with the DVD. It has only been a few days but he is already being more vocal. And as a bonus he is using signs in context- which is new. We just finished a 6 week signing class, but he hadnt really show interest in signing, until after seeing the DVD. It could be coincidence? But I think its related. As for complaints about the production value- it is made for babies & toddlers, and they dont give a hoot about production value- they care about content. And the content is excellent. It is simple, clear & engaging. These are real exercises used by speech pathologists done in ways to appeal to children. I would absolutely recommend this DVD, we are planning to get the rest of the series.
