I was unable to view the film as it was sent as a DVD instead of VHS. The TV to be used for teaching baby care has built in video. Therefore DVD was returned.
Rating: 3 / 5
I bought this with The Happiest Baby on the
Block DVD, which I rated as 5-star. This, on the other hand, is a waste of time and money unless you’ve never seen a baby before.

Good intentions, but no depth of information. If you truly know absolutely nothing, then this might be a decent starting point. Otherwise, you would better off saving your money by talking to friends/family, or putting that money toward a good book.

This DVD’s 40-minute program covers the very basics of newborn care. Please note that the content is on caring for a newborn; if your baby is already a few weeks old, you most likely won’t need this as you won’t be able to learn anything new.
The DVD is divided into over a dozen chapters. Each cheapter is very short, with a nurse (or is she a midwife?) demonstrating newborn care techniques, such as feeding, swadding, dressing, etc. She never explains in detail some of the intricacies in caring for a baby. For example, if a baby cries her heart out during diaper change, what should a parent do?
In the end, this title feels incomplete and unsatisfactory. The “bonus” chapter on baby gear is a complete joke, with the model quickly running through a list of things while pointing her right hand at each in the same way. Really annoying.
I would not recommend this video at all unless you are (like I was) completely clueless. Even then, you can find this at your local library or on Netflix.

I am a new mom-to-be and feel like all those natural instincts people talk about don’t really apply to me. The ABC’s CD really helped me get an understanding of the basics – I love that there’s a resource like this! It’s so helpful to have a wide range of topics to help me through this new stage!
