I bought this DVD for my 11 month old son. He has a few other Baby Einstein dvd's (Numbers, Languages, and one other one I can't remember) - he just loves these! However, it took a few times for him to catch on to the Beethoven dvd. The music is pretty good, and there's some cool toys shown (he liked the train). It might have been better to start with this one when he was first interested in looking at the tv (6-7 months), it seems a bit boring for an 11 month old. If there's a Baby Einstein that only has the puppets and music, please let me know - my son adores the puppets! I would recommend this to 6-8 month olds who are laid back (or save it for quiet time before or after a nap). For older baby's, who are laughing :) , 10-12 months, I recommend Baby DaVinci, or Numbers instead. Cognitively, these are more suitable.Read full review
The Baby Einstein dvd's are excellent in content. The caution is to limit your children's TV viewing, especially if they are under 2 years of age. My kids love these videos, but would watch TV endlessly if allowed. They do have an educational aspect to them which makes learning fun. I would recommended them for limited periods of viewing, as with all videos or TV. Kids need to develop their minds with other creative and explorative means.
The name "Baby Einstein" can lull you into thinking it's okay or even good for babies to watch t.v., but the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no television AT ALL to children under 2 because so many studies have proven its harmful effects on children. Studies have shown that: - for every hour of television a baby watches a day, their chances of acquiring an attention deficit disorder increases by 10%. - among babies ages 8 months to 16 months, every hour spent daily watching programs such as 'Brainy Baby' or 'Baby Einstein' translated into six to eight fewer words in their vocabularies as compared with other children their age." - brain wave activity in babies is slower when watching television than when sleeping. "Signing Time" (Two Little Hands Productions) DVDs is an option for occasional video viewing because communicating in sign language with your child is proven to: - reduce frustration and tantrums - accelerate language development - promote parent-child bonding Last thing for new moms - carrying newborn babies (in arms or next to body) an extra 3 hours a day resulted in 40% less crying. So carrying baby in a carrier or sling can help calm fussy babies!Read full review
This whole line of Disney Baby Einstein DVD's in my opinion is one of the best investments that you can purchase for your baby or toddler, and so well worth every penny. My granddaughter enjoyed each one so much, with much pleasure and fun, and the best part was they are very educational. She turned 3 years old, a couple months ago, and I think she has retired them now, with a great foundation of wonderful memories left behind.

From the beginning, this has been all of our favorite! The music, colors, movement, all keep our grandson engaged. His eyes and ears are being filled with wonderful shapes, sounds, and music. This was the first one we played consistently from when he was born and for the first several months, and now we do interchange to keep it from becomming boring. We were able to recognize that his hearing and sight were in excellent shape. It is delightful, stimulating, fun to watch and listen to. To take a break from newborn babycare 24/7 and be able to sit and relax - this was a joy. For a newborn, this was a great choice to start with.
