Good question, saniso. I know how you feel I am constantly checking out all the baby dvds out there. I think most of them fall flat.
I hope not to offend anyone, but I think Baby Einstein is basically bunk.
we checked some out from the library when my daughter was almost a year. It didn't really seem eductional and didn't hold my daughters interest at all. I liked the one called Baby Shakespear. It had some nice poems in it. Emma thought that one was alright too( there was a train in it). Other than that can't say much for them. I think they are a waste of time and money.
We sign with our daughter and around the same time we checked out some Signing Time. The instant Emma heard the baby laughter at the beginning she was intrigued. She loved it . She immediately started signing "Signing Time".
and would ask for it all the time. We limited to once in the morning and once at night on occasion.
Tornado has got it right, if you ask me. Emma is now 19 mos. and speaks and signs in conjunction. She can retell whole stories, usually annecdotes about Mommy making some kind of silly mistake, or Grandpa bonking his head, something she finds utterly hillarious.
I highly reccomend it. Try anything in the first season(m we like it best) or Baby Signing time to start.
Also, I think if I could afford it I would get Tweedlewink. I previewed one on Youtube. Emma loved it and I thought it was awesome. Maybe I'll hot the lotto.
Good luck. Be strong. Don't believe the hype.

By the way I'm a first time parent too, so I know it can be overwhelming. The important thing is that you enjoy your time with your baby. Relationship before results.
