Baby Babble - Speech-Enhancing DVD for Babies and Toddlers

not sure if this works for the child. sorry.

This keeps my sons attention, but in the middle of the video, it has a long part for parents. This always frustrates both my son and I. The speech therapists in the video really focus on mouth movements which is necessary.

My son has watched this a couple of times. He is 2 years iñf and 8 months almost 3 and he falls asleep while watching it... i will keep teying and update my review in a couple of weeks

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 daughter is 18 months old and has been watching Baby Babble since she was about 6 months old. Althought, I do not believe it has significantly contributed to expediting her speech development, she is now slightly above-average in the number of words she knows and uses. I first noticed the impact this DVD had when at 12 months, she held a balloon and said up/down, lifting it up and pulling it down. Most importantly, I find that this DVD is exceptionally engaging and will hold her attention the entire time it is on. This was true at 6 months and is true at 18-months also. This is the best overall DVD we own and I highly recommend it.

My twins Jacob and Ruth love this video. Each morning, I get into the routine of playing this during their breakfast. They are starting to repeat the sounds and learning what objects makes the correcting sound. Although they are not talking yet, I believe this product will help achieve this goal. Also, I did my research on the internet for the best speech development video for toddlers and this product came up every time. It is highly recommended by doctors and speech therapists. You will get your moneys worth by investing in Baby Babble. Thank you. [...]

I love this video I used it for both my children (one with special needs{down syndrome} and one born prematurely at 26 weeks) I also JUST gifted my neice whos 10mo. With a copy my sister was so ecstatic because she saw how well it worked for my children.

I agree with some of the reviews where the quality is not as good as say Baby Einstein videos, however, I still recommend this video for children just learning to speak or with speech delay. My two year old son was not frightened by the woman in the black turtleneck although I agree that the facial expressions are pretty bland. I love the tips on helping your child with speech and language at the end of the DVD. My son is already trying to make new sounds since watching for only a few days. The video has given us new ideas on helping our son progress with his speech and language development. Hope this review helps those that are on the fence about purchasing.

Bought this just two weeks ago for my 27 month old daughter, who is a late talker. (There is a long wait where I live for a speech therapist.) She LOVED this DVD and the second one, asking to watch several times a day. By the second or third viewing she was saying the words and making the signs.Suddenly she is saying new words every day. Her vocabulary has nearly doubled in just few weeks time. I realize she was on the verge anyways but I definitely think this gave her just the push she needed. I really wish we had found this earlier.

First I want to say shame to the people so harshly reviewed this item. A toy ad? Please. The toys are there to stimulate your child so they can sneak in the good stuff in between. Most of the toys are so old you cant buy them anyway! Second: There are plenty of things to get your child to practice how to talk. ALL of the fun things they are doing with their mouths are activities/exercises geared toward speech. Its like dominoes- you hit one, they all start to fall. You start with mouth exercises and sounds, and then the talking comes. Not that hard to get people, really! Third: Yes, it has an at-home feel to it. So what? In this age of Disney, a little personal type work is refreshing. Does everything has to be so in-your-face stimulating? Let the child use some of thier own imaginations once and awhile. Off my soapbox. Great video! My little guy is responding wonderfully to it. He does all the mouth exercises and signs and is starting to try to pronounce his own words. He even likes to watch the parents tutuorial at the end. Great job ladies! Saved me alot of money...now I dont have to bring him to a speech pathologist.
