Baby Bach

Summary: Best video for very young (<5 months) babies
Review: I began renting and buying videos to show my baby when he was 3 months old. Baby Bach is his favorite by far, and it was the only one that captured his interest for more than a few minutes when he was very, very young. I thought Baby Bach was ingeneous, and I also watch the entire video each time we show it to our son. (Note: I have not seen Baby Mozart yet, and I hear it's even better.)

Summary: Not as good as Baby Mozart, but enjoyable nonetheless
Review: My child is a big fan of Baby Mozart, so we bought Baby Bach hoping for more of the same. We were a little bit disappointed (although our child seemed to like it!). If you only buy one video, buy Baby Mozart as it is superior to Baby Bach. The music in Baby Bach is not as well orchestrated, and the sequences are not as interesting. However, if your baby needs a break from Baby Mozart (we have watched our copy so many times that it is getting fuzzy!), then Baby Bach is a good addition.

Summary: Not What I Expected
Review: Having bought so many of the other Baby Einstein DVDs, I couldn't wait to watch this one with my 18 month old son. We were both very disappointed. My son could not "get into" this one. It is the only one in the series that he hasn't liked so far. I believe it may be that the visuals just don't match well with the music, and the whole dvd is quite dull.

Summary: baby loves this
Review: I wish I'd thought of this- it seems so obvious an idea I'm sure I would've come up w/ this eventually! My one complaint is that Clark's daughters have lipstick on in the video! How very disturbing.

Summary: We love Baby Bach!
Review: Along with Baby Einstein Language Nursery, my son LOVES this. This video has kept his attention since he was 2 months old. He is now 7 months old and he adores this video. I have tried a couple other in the series, but none keep him focused like this. Perhaps it is because the video age starts from 1 month on. We love Baby Bach!

Summary: To me, it's the most boring but to my baby...
Review: LOVES it! We have Mozart, Newton, Neighborhood Animals and Discovering Water and this is by far his favorite! But it may be just for the time being. A friend lent this to me to try before we buy and my 9 month old seems to be glued to it much more than the others. I don't know if he's just maybe tired of the others or what but I DO know that he LOVES this one. However, it is very annoying to me -- Ms. Clark's oldest daughter, who is the "star" is such a complete HAM who seems to have her 8 year old ego stroked every time she opens her mouth, the room roars with laughter. But...my son loves it and that's what counts and it does allow me to get some things done while he's watching!

Summary: 5 Month Old and Mommie Adore Baby Bach
Review: My 5 month old daughter received the BE Baby Bach video several months ago as a belated shower gift for me. My daughter loves the DVD and I talk to her about what is on the TV. It is counterproductive for parents to use the BE series as a baby-sitter. As one of the reviewers stated in a review of another BE DVD, these products are to be used WITH your child. I find it helpful to talk about colors one day, sizes or shapes the next, and music on another day. Granted, I know at 5 months she does not understand exactly what I am telling her, however, I do believe that the earlier shapes, colors, sizes, music, sounds, animals, etc. are introduced and REINFORCED, the more your child will get out of the BE program, and you will get to spend quality educational time with your infant/baby/toddler. I am sold on BE and even though the videography is simple, it is better than my daughter watching other pre-school programming on TV. At least I have some control over what she is exposed to and I get the added bonus of spending educational time with her!

Summary: Not so great
Review: I bought Baby Einstein's Neighborhood Animals for my now 10 month old. She has enjoyed that DVD since she was about 7 months old and never grows tired of it. She cannot take her eyes off the TV when it's on and squeals everytime a new animal comes on. After that one was such a hit, we bought Baby Bach...it's okay, but not nearly the DVD that Neighborhood Animals is. My baby's interest in Baby Bach is nothing compared to the other. The objects used are just not as captivating and seem a little dull after the first couple of segments. My husband and I agree that it's pretty boring compared to what we got used to. Some babies may enjoy it, but this is the result at our house. LOVE Neighborhood Animals though!!!

Summary: Mom of Baby Max
Review: I received this DVD for my baby shower. My son was born in September and when he was about a month old, we began playing the DVD. It's been amazing to see him light up and even giggle at certain parts. After one pass through of the video however he begins to get fussy. BE videos are a must have for new parents. They entertain the baby just long enough for you to get a load of laundry done or dust around the livingroom.

Summary: Does'nt live up to the hype.
Review: I've got a 2 year old and a 3 1/2 year old, and I was tempted to buy the Einstein videos based on word of mouth, but decided to try a neighbors copy first. Unfortunately, I wasn't all that impressed. More importantly, my kids seemed disinterested. I've read a few of the unfavorable reviews I've seen lately and have to agree with their opinions. Another Mom friend recommended a new series that just cam out called "Lots To Learn" There are two available that I've seen: Lots To Learn: Nature, and Lots To Learn: In My House. I've watched Nature and we all love it. I'm going to purchase Lots To Learn: In My House " next, and I'll let you know my feedback, but they seem to be more educational and less condescending to the kids, more professionally produced like Sesame street.
