It would make life much easier for me when I have a migraine and need a little break. But at 10 months, she has no interest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-einstein-dvds#post-179303 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 12:33:19 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 179303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rescuemom10: No problem :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-einstein-dvds#post-179294 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 12:24:40 +0000 Rescuemom10 179294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Thanks for the info!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-einstein-dvds#post-179288 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 12:15:33 +0000 Mrsbells 179288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: yeah good idea </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-einstein-dvds#post-178671 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 18:55:37 +0000 chopsuey 178671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's never seen a baby einstein dvd. She watches about 5 minutes of her favorite cartoon on youtube every other day though. We try to keep the TV off while LO is awake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-einstein-dvds#post-178667 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 18:49:26 +0000 Andrea 178667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe you could try the CDs instead. DD loved them when she was younger and I played them for her every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-einstein-dvds#post-178648 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 18:18:53 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 178648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marriedandlovingit: <a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2012/04/25/responsible-media-viewing/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2012/04/25/responsible-media-viewing/</a></p> <p>I don't explicitly say it in the blog post, but baby Einstein has not been shown to be beneficial to baby learning and may even be harmful. (they had to take the educational claims off the box, even) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-einstein-dvds#post-178632 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 18:03:01 +0000 Mrsbells 178632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: honestly I dont know if it was the music that put her to sleep or the visual effects of the video.</p> <p>@Mrs. Jacks: No I didnt see that post </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-einstein-dvds#post-178603 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 17:15:38 +0000 sulli301 178603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone gave us a baby einstein DVD but we have not used it. DD is 13 months &amp; has seen a couple very limited clips of TV, but we want to hold off as long as possible. We'd like to wait till 2, but if we can make it to 20 months (when baby #2 is due!) I'll be happy. At 20 months, we may introduce limited amounts/day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-einstein-dvds#post-178594 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 16:58:55 +0000 calsmom 178594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Do you have the link to the post? I'm curious. Thanks in advance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-einstein-dvds#post-178587 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 16:49:39 +0000 Honeybee 178587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you think she feel asleep to the video or the music? I'm pretty sure you can buy the Baby Einstein music tracks on cd, so that might be something look into, if helps her fall asleep!</p> <p>ETA: We didn't start letting DD watch movies/tv until recently, and we try to keep it limited right now. I don't want to start any bad habits, and the AAP doesn't recommend tv before the age 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-einstein-dvds#post-178582 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 16:46:09 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 178582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you read my blog post on responsible media viewing? It might help you make your decision :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-einstein-dvds#post-178580 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 16:45:17 +0000 Mrs. Pen 178580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not sure but our son is really interested in TV when we're watching it too! We try to distract him but end up having to turn it off if we don't want him watching it! Crazy how young they start.</p> <p>I think I will let him watch the signing time videos around 5-6 months but other than that I don't think I'll let him watch TV until he's at least a year, if not two. but that's just my personal preference and I know a lot of moms let their babies watch the baby einsteins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-einstein-dvds#post-178578 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 16:43:36 +0000 Mrsbells 178578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you use these dvds with your LO and at what age did you introduce it? my baby is 6 weeks and is very interested in the tv, I guess the lights attract her so today i went on youtube and let her watch a clip of the baby einstein lullaby and she fell asleep to it, and its usually very hard fir her ti fall asleep. I'm considering buying it but I'm worried she is too young for dvds </p>
