Don't rush things. Just relax and enjoy the baby. They learn best through play. They are absorbing everything going on around them music, talking etc. So even though she may not pay attention to your flashcards, she is learning something. I started with Your Baby Can Read videos and my grandson watched them while sitting in highchair eating in front of TV. Just make sure you expose her to different places. They learn best by doing and playing and watching what you do. They want to do whatever you are doing driving, watching TV, cooking etc. So whatever you want them to do you need to do. If you want them interested in flashcards then maybe your husband and you should play a game with flashcards.

It is not possible to brainwash a child? Please, who are you trying to kid.
Brainwashing is frighteningly simple. It appears that repetition of lies is all it takes. Make someone feel they are part of a superior group and give them talking points. This type of brainwashing occurs on conservative talk shows daily. So if you can be brainwashed this simple, what makes you think your innocent little children that believe every word you tell them can not be brainwashed.
Just look at what Hitler did. He easily brainwashed an entire country. In order to accomplish this an enemy must exist. Look at who profits from war. The Bush family and the Bin Laden family belong to same group of world leaders that were invested in war. If there is no strife, they do not make money. Can anyone imagine the group of world leaders belonging to the Carlye group that profit from war might want strife in the world? The cold war had ended. No one was profiting from war. A new conflict was needed. The new conflict is a text book repeat of Hitler. Hitler chose the Jewish religion as his target to accomplish whatever he wanted. Do you see any similarities yet?
The Commandment "Thou shall not kill" doesn't mean if you think you are doing a righteous kill and doing it honorably it is acceptable. It doesn't mean a different culture's righteous killings their way is worse then your righteous killing. Do you really think a God would find their way "immoral" and your way "moral"? Killing is killing. Stop the violence! Quit wasting valuable resources on war. Just think if all these intelligent people instead of designing weapons were solving the world problems of food, shelter, energy etc. what a wonderful place the world would be.

I created you a Dutch word file that should be approved soon but make sure you check to see if I did it right because I do not know Dutch.
I am not sure if you have to change the language for each lesson. I would hope that you could select a default language for every lesson. If you can't that would certainly be a desirable feature. I have only used it in English so far, so I am not sure.
Hopefully my Dutch word set for you is accurate and helpful.

Yes, just go to Little Math - Numbers Library - Sounds - and create one for dutch. Then you select dutch as the language when you play the file. You can also upload your file in dutch for others to use. Actually sound set dutch is already in Little Math Library so you can just download it. I do not see the word set for dutch yet but it is easy to create just have to create a file spelling all hundred numbers.
