Calm Baby is great for the autism family
Sisters-in-law made this video of soothing sights and sounds of water with nursery songs and classical music after realizing how effective it was with their children. One is the parent to triplets. Included with the video is an audio cd with twenty-three tracks covering thirty-four minutes of lullabies, nursery songs and classical music.

My seven-year old son thought the music was lovely and several times commented on the cute toys profiled in Calm Baby™ with the only negative being he got dizzy at one of the first images of some spinning and twirling of lights.

Throughout the Calm Baby™ video are images of stuffed and rubber animals in various water arrangements. The rubber duckie is one of them plus a stuffed duck that has a continuing story in a few segments. The duck is like a puppet and he pushes a small purple bed, this is similar to a dollhouse item. Before the duck shows up again the screen has a white background with blue coloring at the bottom similar to waves floating around and some classical music accompanying the image.

There is no speaking in the Calm Baby™ video, only the vocals to four songs I believe, Rain Rain Go Away, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Row Row Row Your Boat and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. For the Rain song there were a few kids shown from the back looking and touching a window while it was raining outside. The boat song showed toys that a child would play in the tub with and there was a twinkling show with an array of lights and colors for the star song.

The spider song showed a green and then blue spider that was like a stuffed animal but moved by a string going up and down in a room. Some of the other toys or images shown were the kind of toys that are attached to a mobile over a crib. One was a pretty red, white and black animal that my son just adored.

The images are of bubbles, water fountains, rain dropping on roses, umbrellas opening and twirling to the rain. The umbrella sequence moved perfectly to the music and then a few times there were the colored balls that you see in ball pits, but they were in a two- tiered fountain and the music and rain drops moved in rhythm perfectly.

There is one scene with a giant clam opening up with bubbles coming out and others showing the rocks and toys in aquariums. A child's hand is seen placing stuffed fish inside an aquarium that was handmade with colorful material. Thirty minutes of these arrangements goes by fairly quickly and quite possibly puts a smaller infant or toddler to sleep with the calming effects of the images and nursery songs.

I can attest to this being well suited for my children and those who enjoy visual images that are vibrant, as well as hearing rain droplets hitting the pavement. We enjoyed watching sunflowers and roses as the rain dropped on them and the colorful twirling of the umbrella.

This is a very relaxing and soothing video that could be played for children while parent is taking care of chores and before nap or bedtime. Older children will like to watch the various images that go by and remark on the colors and sounds and possibly sing along with the nursery songs.

Both my children are on the Autism Spectrum and liked Calm Baby at various times.

Works like a charm! Thank you!
I don't know about stimulating, all I care about is that it calmed my baby down EVERY TIME. Every parents know how frustrating it is when your baby gets fussy, especially when she is supposed to sleep. I've used this VDO for over two months and it still gets my 6 months old daughter to calm down, then it is much easier to get her to sleep (at least the crying stopped). Sometimes she just fell asleep watching it. The CD that comes with it is also great, since they're the same songs in the VDO. This is one of the most useful baby products I've bought. Highly recommend for calming babies.

Not something you want to buy
Our daughter did not like this video at all. In fact, I could barely make it thru the first 5 minutes. [...] The singing is horrible and this video repeats the same scenes over and over like they could barely get thirty minutes of water.[...] I certainly wouldn't recommend this at all. Do yourself a favor and invest in another video!!!!!!!!!!

A Great Video
At first I was not sure if I liked this video. However, my 9 month old daughter loved it right away!! We use it as part of our bed time routine and it works everytime. Pretty remarkable considering she never fell asleep on her own until we bought this video. I recommend it to everyone.
P.S. It works on my husband too!

I thought it was boring
I thought this video was very very boring. I wanted a video to stimulate my baby and he fell asleep. How can he be stimulated if he falls asleep? My other child left the room.
