Baby Einstein DVD Product Recall: Really?!?!
Submitted by jessicamcfad
So Disney is issuing a Baby Einstein recall of Baby Einstein DVDs purchased from 1999 to 2005. OOOOK. I think that the people that sued the makers of Baby Einstein because they thought Baby Einstein videos make babies smarter are totally ridiculous.
My 1-year-old loved, LOVED Baby Galileo but I didn't think it was going to make him learn about planetary science, just like I don't think my watching "Grey's Anatomy" is going to make me a surgeon! It's ENTERTAINMENT for babies, people!! That means that it's not going to be as loud and fast-paced or violent as "Transformers" cartoons. What it is going to do is allow you to actually eat a sandwich with both hands or talk on the phone while listening to Mozart in the background (instead of screaming!)

I know the AAP recommends that babies under 2 don't watch TV, but come on! Once in a while, as Mommy lovingly points out, that silly dragon can't be that bad. Can it?! I mean, the World Health Organization recommends that we breastfeed for 2 years... but after 11 months, dude, I thought I deserved a freaking medal!
For 30 minutes of peace per day, when my kids were colicky babies, sometimes I felt like I should be paying sweet Julie Aigner Clark. Well, I guess I did when I shelled out all that cash for her products. But still, that court case is so lame!
