Baby Babble - Beginning Words

I can not be a happier mom! My baby is now 17Month. I'll start from the beginning of why I purchased this and what was the outcome. At 12 months my daughter was very vocal I would point to continents on the map and she would repeat me after awhile I would just point and she would say them herself, her favorite was Asia (her face would just light up when I pointed to it) and no I'm not exaggerating! My babygirl worked hard to learn her continents. So a few months started passing and I noticed she started pointing and crying and never wanted to talk, so I was patient and tried my best to encourage her to speak, saying the object she was crying for like "juice? Do you want juice?" Nothing seemed to work! So out of desperation I researched speech delay which to my knowledge my child doesn't have, according to my doctor it is a stage some toddlers go through. I still decided to give this DVD a try and bought the 3 series beginning words, first words, next words. Just in a few weeks my child is talking up a storm. She knows dog, bird (although not taught in this vid), bottle, milk, so forth. She is also repeating me again. Today she banged on the chair and told her friend "sit down!" Clear as day! :o she says other things I can not understand at the moment but I'm so very satisfied with the outcome! A+ and 10 stars!! Spent $65 on all 3 videos and I believe it was alot more worth it than the baby Einstein DVD collect I bought for the same price. Also don't know what the other moms are talking about when they say this DVD is very cheaply made and looks like a cheap camcorder recorded this, it looks like baby Einstein videos, with similar toys and babies just more speech and interaction. It is possible they might be referring to the first series which I never purchased because I believe my daughter was a little too big for that one. Besides that It works great mothers, buy it!

I b ought this for my normotypical grandchildren, who are aged 9 months and 7 months respectively I like it VERY much. The focus is on the most common words, which are given with their signs. and they are presented clearly, slowly, and with enough repetition to make them stick. I gather from the reviews that the three predecessors to this DVD - which nearly everybody thought was terrific for speech development in babies - made adults want to gouge their eyes out because the video presentation was so dated. This one - which only came out this year - is great!This is an update. This has become the DVD for the daily commute to the day care center for my elder granddaughter (who is now almost 11 months old.) She has been using it on a daily basis for about a month. She could say Mama and Dada before she started using this program, but within a few days she was saying mik (for milk.) At this time she also reliably says book, dog, cat, and ball, and also signs hi / bye, more, and eat. She also clearly has grasped the idea of communication and tries to repeat words we say (including Santa and picture although not this is not consistent.) This video, along with the English as a Second Langauge version of Little Pim, (an immersion English language learning program on DVD for ages 1-5), kept her happy for a recent 9 hour trip to visit friends over her parents' Christmas break. They alternated Baby Babble in between each of the 3 DVDs in the Little Pim series. (I can also recommend Little Pim, which does engage her, although not to the same extent as Baby Babble. English is our first language, but we like this ESL program for receptive English language learning. (We will start using the Spanish version of Little Pim when the baby is solid in English, e.g. probably around ages 2-3. Nobody in the family is a native Spanish speaker, although we all have some facility with the language. )

I have 3 ye old twins with ASD. This video was recommended by our SLP. They loved it so much I bought the other videos as well. Not only do they request the videos, 1 of my sons began speaking more since watching and his imitation has increased. My non verbal son is playing with toys more which is a challenge since watching the show. I love how they incorporate sign, toys and speech into the video. Worth every penny and than some!

My almost 2 year LOVES these videos. He is constantly asking for his "ooie" (movie). That is amazing for him because he hardly says any words. I was getting so frustrated feeling like his speech development was wayyy behind so I looked at tons of speech development videos and finally settled with Baby Babble. It took about a month of watching them but he is starting to repeat the words and associate them with stuff when he's not watching. They are pretty basic as a lot of people have said but I honestly think that was the point. These shows are tailored for the kids, not the parents. He won't even watch "regular" kids shows. I just went and bought 2 more from the series making 4 total now that we have. So worth the price.

This is our 3rd baby babble video to purchase. We used them with my son 7 years ago and now my 1YO daughter loves them too. It has excelled her speech tremendously and is a better source of brief screen time then other options. This 3rd video is my daughter's favorite. It uses some toys we have at home and the use of their children was a nice addition.

Worth the money! At first you may think "what did I just purchase?" I bought this for my 30 month old since he was struggling with speech development. My son was interested for the first 3 minutes and then he walked away. However, I played the videos daily and each day he would become more interested. He loves the videos, has improved in his speech and is learning sign language. We have both videos, TM and Beginning Words.

My 27 month old is behind in expressive speech, but not enough to qualify for early intervention. We started this video about a week ago. He watches it every day and each day, he interacts with it more. He now says almost every word on the video. He hardly said any words before. Don’t be turned off by how weird the video seems. It’s exactly what it needs to be to keep their attention. He watches the entire video most days and he is a very active child. Thanks so much for this video!
