Baby Einstein takes a hit

Another study and more stern proclamations from the medical community about how detrimental Baby Einstein and other video entertainment can be for babies and their language development.
Based on our anecdotal evidence, of course, between Aidan and Bryce-- two of the most verbal kids we know-- along with the testimonials of our friends and neighbors, most all of whom have youngsters now who were raised with the Baby Einstein catalog of videos, this is pure hogwash. Heck, we've joked for years that, if it weren't for that Baby Mozart video-- 27 1/2 minutes of calm in the morning-- my wife would never have gotten a shower in Aidan's first year of life.

No baby under 2 should watch any video or television whatsoever. So say the good doctors. Apparently, they can all afford nannies.
