Baby Babble - Speech-Enhancing DVD for Babies and Toddlers

my 18 month old has not been saying much and this dvd totally jump started his vocabulary. and it doesnt hurt that my 4 year old loves watching it with him. he imitates the women in the video, and watches my mouth as i copy what they say. really great for speech, blows away baby einstein in that regard.

You can watch all 3 DVDs on YouTube for free. I admit, very weird and outdated but definitely kept my 2 yr old glued to TV. He had a lot of fun watching. Glad I ordered DVD, so now he can watch on his portable DVD player.

I was getting a little concerned that my 21 month old son wasnt talking very much. He could make a few sounds but didnt seem eager to repeat words as I said them. He liked to make up his own words, since forming them properly was too difficult. After a week of watching these videos (we got both 1 and 2), I could tell a difference. He loves them and repeats the sounds throughout the video. Also, he requests to watch them! Yesterday, he repeated the word goggle to me. I couldnt believe it! I cant say enough wonderful things about these amazing shows!

Couldnt be happier or more impressed with this video. The video has helped a lot with my speech delayed son. He LOVES this video. This is one of the only videos he will watch all the way through without getting distracted. And that has been MULTIPLE times. He now has starting to say a few words and is really using the sign language he has learned on the video. This video has greatly decreased his frustration with not being able to communicate. Would highly recommend this video to anyone needing extra help with their childs speech. And just a word of advice, dont judge the video by what you as an adult think of it let your child decide. I would have NEVER thought this video would have kept my very hyper toddler engaged let alone seeing him learn sign language and verbal words. Best money I have spent in awhile.

Two year old grandson loves all 3 baby babbles. I dont know what it is about these programs, but it really keeps him interested and repeats the words on his own. Wish there was more.

My 2.5 year old has had developmental and speech delays since he was 8 months old and still not sitting up on his own. Currently he still doesnt say any actual words, but this has helped a lot. Hes been in therapy for two years now but it has taken them awhile to find the key to getting him to be calm and want to work during sessions. Hes hesitant towards people coming in and making him do things so he wasnt making much progress. Hes finally caught up (mostly) developmentally with others his age but still not talking so I found this DVD and it has been great! He went from babbling just a few times a day, minimal facial expressions and not wanting to imitate to being a babbling king! Two different speech therapists and even his father and I couldnt get through to him like this DVD did. He mimics and imitates their noises, some signs, and their facial expressions and his has taken whats he has seen and learned and gladly shows his therapists the things he is learning. He usually sits and focuses well on the first 15 minutes then watches on and off for the rest, but thats fine with me! Hes only 2 so I cant expect him to want to sit still and watch a movie for 25 minutes. For the people complaining about the quality of the video, this was released over 10 years ago now. Look back 10 years in your photo albums and itll be just as dated! Things have much improved since then so of course the quality is not going to be what you would expect from a DVD released yesterday. It would be awesome if they could re-shoot and make a more updated version but honestly it doesnt bother me or my son at all.

I borrowed it from the library and would recommend others check it out before purchasing. I didnt like the strange, unnatural faces which I understand the point of but seemed scary. That said, my 18 month old baby liked the sounds on the video. My baby does NOT have as many words as he probably should by this age (he signs more than he says), and will be evaluated by ECI. I might renew this one but definitely wouldnt buy it. The signing was terrible compared to Signing Time series which I adore and wish I could purchase but theyre really pricey.

We got this video very late and our son picked up so many words. Truly worth video for all parents - good to start the program by 12 months of age. Kids pick up soon at an early age, I wish i found this DVD much earlier.

When I first played this DVD for my 20 month old son, I thought wth did I buy and I couldnt believe how outdated it was...then I look over and I see my super active, cant sit still for anything son completely enthralled and engaged! We watch it once a day and within the first few days my son was trying to imitate everything they did, Im still in shock how much he enjoys this. He has no clue how outdated it is, nor does he care, and these speech pathologists that made this DVD know a lot more than I do apparently, because this DVD holds his attention unlike anything else! I think its luck of the draw whether this DVD can keep your little one engaged and I just happened to luck out on this one I guess after reading some negative reviews. Prior to this DVD he would only say the word, hi once in a blue moon and now, after about a month of watching this, hes much more vocal and attempts to conversate more than ever. Granted he isnt saying actual words yet, but I feel excited that hes making much more complex sounds. This DVD also helped me in giving me ideas and a guide to help my son in ways I didnt even think of. People always tell me that I shouldnt be in a rush to have him talk because once he does, he wont be quiet, however I cant stand to see his frustration and I could use a few less tantrums! I also use some basic sign language at home and this DVD helps with that as well. Bottom line, as outdated that this DVD is, its become one of my favorite things to do with my son and I highly recommend it!

It wasnt what I would have imagined and my 3 year old daughter wasnt very interested.
