Baby Bach

Pros: Beautifully arranged music and video highlights. Good DVD features.
Cons: Sometimes distracting with the addition of Ms. Clark's daughters.

After witnessing the incredibly positive effective Baby Mozart had on my daughter (now 14 months old) and the way she was mesmerized by the music, the colors, the shapes, and the activities that were appearing before her on the TV set, I knew I...

Pros: Fun, educational, and interesting to baby
Cons: Only lasts 30 minutes

A few years ago some now controversial research was published showing that the music of Mozart helped babies learn and made them smarter. Julie Aigner-Clark, a mother and teacher, took this information and used it to create a wonderful series of baby...

Pros: Similar style as Baby Mozart
Cons: Gizmos are too complex for baby

Baby Bach DVD comes with a Theater section (the images put to music by Bach), a Concert Hall (the sa ...

Pros: soothing sounds, stimulating classical music
Cons: too similar to Baby Mozart

I received the video, "Baby Mozart," produced by Julie Aigner-Clark of the Baby Einstein company as a Baby Shower gift. I wasn't sure about the value of a video for small babies, but my son truly loves it! (See my review of Baby Mozart.) I...

Pros: Great gift, babies love this thing
Cons: too exclusive of other races

Got this video from a girlfriend for my 5 month old son. First thing I thought of was, no way man, not me. I'm not going to be on the cover of "Bad Motherhood." Poster-mother for child neglect. Forget it.

Then I decided to sit...

Pros: Interesting visuals, lovely music, entertaining for young children.
Cons: Not as many opportunities for teaching and interaction as Baby Mozart.

My toddler and I love Baby Mozart, so I expected to be equally pleased with Baby Bach. Unfortunately, while it’s not a bad video, it suffers in comparison. The Baby Einstein videos (which include Baby Mozart and Baby Bach) were originally ...

Pros: All you expect from Baby Einstein ... colors, shapes, music
Cons: Of all in the series, Baby Bach just isn't up to par.

We are big fans of the Baby Einstein videos in my house. My son loves them. It's the only time he sits still. We bought Baby Mozart when he was 4 months old. It was an instant hit. My baby who had never even given a second glance at the TV was...

Pros: Perfect entertainment for little, growing minds.
Cons: Too long for younger infants.

This was a gift from my sister-in-law as she had read that classical music and certain images help develop an infant's mind. I was a little skeptical at first, being that my five-month-old son had no attention span. But, I gave it a try, and was...

Pros: Visually stimulating with soothing sounds to a baby.
Cons: none.

The Baby Einstein series is one of my favorite videos for my daughter to watch. While walking throu ...

Pros: Entertaining for both child and adult
Cons: None

Baby Bach is a wonderfully made, wonderfully entertaining video. My daughter loved to watch it when she was small, and now at the age of 2, still loves it! The music is enjoyable for me to listen to and the toys and music keep my daughters entertained!...

Pros: Unbelievable how well it captivates my 3 month old!
Cons: Can't think of any con....except maybe that it's too short.

I never really believed this video would entertain my son until he was at least 9 months old! How could a silly "Einstein" video really captivate an infant, I thought!

But it's TRUE! He loves this video!! It's a great "babysitter" when I...

Pros: Keeps cranky baby happy
Cons: except in the drawing scene

We bought this video at the same time that we bought Baby Mozart,(I love Baby Mozart), When I put it in I expected it to be the same, a nice musical video with bach melodies and various toys and kinetic art, and for the most part it is. It didn't...

Pros: Beautiful music, fun images
Cons: Don't have one!

I decided to purchase this video after several moms on one of my message boards raved about it. As I already have several audiotapes of Mozart, and because I had read about a researcher who says children should listen to Bach, rather than Mozart, since...
