I've heard this DVD talked about all over the place. The most influential was on Oprah. It's a great invention and works well. I was a little sad at the price compared to how short the DVDs were, but then again, after we hear the word/sound that the babies say, there's not much more left to talk about! I bought this for for my own knowledge as well as for a gift for my cousin that is pregnant for the first time. This is a great gift for first-time moms & dads! I most likely will buy another one for my best friend that's trying to have a baby now -- she actually has two other children, but it's been six years since that last child.
Don't get me wrong. I think the content of the DVD is very good. I totally buy into the fact that babies have a language, and I have applied the concepts with my baby. The information is pretty basic....5 cries means 5 things. I like that they give many examples of the cries so that the listener gets a good feel for what each cry sounds like. The problem is, all of this could have been done in a 10 minute video. To fill up the rest of the space, they show some (what seems to me) very obvious ways to calm a baby. For example, one cry means, "I'm hungry." Seems pretty obvious that you would then feed the baby. So, to fill up time, they show all the positions in which you can feed a baby. It just struck me as silly. I'd rather have paid less and just gotten the basic information. If I had seen the videos beforehand, I probably wouldn't have bought it, but I have gleaned some good information regardless.Read full review
I was very intrigued with the idea of this and it proved to be valid. The examples and personal testimonies were clear and very interesting. I was impressed at how clearly the babies do communicate their needs with different sounds. The different cry sounds are clearly identified and vivid examples are shown. I wish I had this when my children were born! My great grandson was born recently and he clearly performs these sounds as described and demonstrated on this DVD. It has made my granddaughter's first child experience so much more relaxed since she is more confident. It really saves wear and tear on both mom and baby since she immediately knows what he needs and tends to that need right away, preventing him from crying endlessly while she "trial and error" tries to figure out what to do for him. It truly is amazingly simple. Every person taking care of an infant should have this DVD! The lady that made this has a "photographic memory" of sounds. You would be familiar with this as in people that can hear a tune and play it back "by ear". She first identified these cries with her own baby and then compared to other babies. Eventually she researched cries of babies in different countries. All babies cry the same due to the body's reaction to different discomfort stimuli. Most mothers eventually tune in to their baby's cues but it's trial and error and they generally have no clear concise understanding all the time. This DVD is a fast track to clear understanding with real results. There are 2 DVDs. They recommend you view the first one and wait 2 weeks to view the second one. I think you should play them both to begin with and review them as needed. I also strongly recommend you watch the comments (or testimonials) of users that she has recorded at the end on both discs. They are just as beneficial as the first part of each disc.Read full review
Excited to put the baby language to the test with baby #2 due in March. Information is good, DVD's are short in length, wish the would have condensed it into one disc. But I think they did 2 dvd's to hammer in that fact she wanted parents to work on the first set of words for a week, then move onto the last set of words. Great information, I wish I would have seen this for my first baby (might have helped me identify her colic cries much sooner!).
I bought this for my sister. Wish I'd had it. The only reason I didn't give it an excellent rating was that there really isn't much too it for the price you pay to get it new. Which is why I went the eBay route, so it really isn't relevant to me anyhow. The information is very valuable but I don't know why it took 2 discs to impart the information. I think because they want you to think of it as two training sessions instead of trying to absorb it all at once.
