We use OyBaby2 for nebulizer treatments as well! If the video doesn’t fry his brain, the Albuterol will. :0

Oy baby is the only way I can get my 21 month old asthmatic son to sit for his morning nebulizer treatment. He used to run away from me when we were going to do it, or cry hysterically the whole time, but now he runs to sit down and hold the mask on saying “Baby! Baby!” He also recognizes the Hebrew letters and knows their names now after watching it every morning.

The TV is a necessity for this particular reason in our house, and I’m thankful for Oy Baby…

We are ordering Oy Baby 2 because I need a little variety…

My older two (especially my 4 year old) also enjoy Oy Baby when it’s on.

Thanks Ariela and everyone else for their positive comments.

Hey “No Thanks”…sorry to hear it was not a hit in your household. If you’d like to contact me through our website, I will be happy to provide a full refund. All we ask is that you donate the DVD and CD to a school or charity.

That’s just how we do it here at OyBaby World Headquarters.

My kids (3 and 1) _LOVE_ Oy Baby, both the first one and the sequel. To Fineline: we don’t have a TV, so my kids never zone out. Watching Oy Baby on the computer is basically the only visual entertainment they do (otherwise crawling/running around on our kibbutz), and we watch it together, singing the songs. My daughter is obsessed with the “Af, Peh, Ozen” song on the second DVD, which is basically a Hebrew version of head, shoulders, knees and toes (but better). As a native Seattle Jew (but who doesn’t know the people who made the DVDs), I am really proud that this was a northwest project and am getting them as presents for my friends. Added bonus: some of the sequences are designed to teach Hebrew (e.g., Hebrew numbers), but for my kid (who knows Hebrew), they did a great job reinforcing the English too!

All the buzz is over. Will they take back my cd/dvd. Kids not a big fan of it. They like the free AOL DVDs to play with better. These cost to much for them to use as frisbees.

I got Oy Baby and Oy Baby 2 and found that the first one is a lot better. Blech. Oy Chanukah is good though.

Over priced. Buy the set and give the CD as a gift.

Fineline is just wrong. Simply put. Everyone else, go check out Oy Baby 2. Even better than the first.

TV, DVD, CD with a good balance of parental attention, good.

No TV, DVD, CD to give a parent a break to get other needed things done, bad.

Moderation in all things, good.

Fred Levine was a cameraman. He proved himself a very astute businessman when he was able to conceive and capitalize on the first Road Construction Ahead videos. He made a small fortune very quickly because they were so popular. He’s never looked back.

I don’t think Levine, in his videos, uses any hotties.

To little boys, trucks and machines are what’s “hot.” “Hotties” in children’s videos are only there, if at all, to pander to parents. Genuine entertainment for children shouldn’t have to be sexualized for them to enjoy it.

Unless it’s a really big truck.

I don’t know, TM, I thought some of those guys who work where the garbage goes were pretty fine.

I have to say that my kids saw a few videos when they were younger, but got bored of most of them very quickly. Especially the Jewish ones. The ones that got their attention, and they asked for time and time again, were the ones produced by Fred Levine, a (Jewish) cameraman from Vermont who creates “action-filled, behind-the-scenes videos that show kids how real people get their jobs done.”

Little Hard Hats is where parents can order (on DVD or video):

Road Construction Ahead
Fire & Rescue
Cleared for Takeoff
Where the Garbage Goes
House Construction Ahead

The visuals are backed with original rock ‘n roll music too! The kids even took them to school and the teachers welcomed them.

I’m not so sure that kids have to be 2 years old before they watch tv. But the most important thing is that parents choose what to offer their kids to watch.

One Mom’s opinion.

Anne, all my flaws and mistakes might seem cute now, but you’d hate me with a passion within months.

Besides, I realize, with some sadness, that you live in California and have to be able to afford California real estate with any salary you earn. Ergo, I cannot afford to pay you enough. Real estate by you is nuts.

Rina, you’re the one in the photo with the tongue sticking out, right?

You know, as a little kid (started around the age of five) I started watching tv shows that were for adults like Lexx, Stargate SG-1, Star Trek, ER, some others. And this gave me a great world of learning of the way the world worked. I mean most people don’t think that children shouldn’t know certain things until theyre older, but I think I turned out just fine…
