Baby Einstein

I’ve heard Baby Einstein referred to as “Baby Crack” in the past because you could put a little one in front of the TV and they would become engulfed in the programming. While this is certainly good for a Mom who needs to do a load of dishes or fold some laundry, it doesn’t do much in terms of Mom and Baby spending time together.

With that in mind, Baby Einstein has launched a new campaign where they encourage parents to watch the movies with their child and interact together. We were sent “Baby’s First Moves” which is for children ages 3 months and up. Snowbaby LOVED it. She loves seeing other babies and she is very interested in physical movement now. She loves to see babies jumping and dancing and clapping and walking. Within minutes, she was dancing around the living room and trying to copy the movements on the screen.

Look, I know that you can do all those things with your baby without this DVD. But there are many days where my mind just feels blank or I feel overwhelmed with responsibility and things like dancing and clapping get pushed to the side. But if you pop in this DVD, which only is a little over 30 minutes and get on the floor and do these things with your baby or toddler, you’ll feel better. Too many times Moms are too rushed to do these little things that help not only your relationship with your little one, but your own sanity as well.

And after you are done interacting, you can pop the movie back on so you can go fold your 900th load of laundry.

Also as a bonus, the DVD plays in Spanish, French and English for those of you who are bilingual or want to encourage your child to be.

I think these Baby Einstein DVD’s, used with interaction from the parents, can be a good tool for little ones.
