Baby Einstein Bust


Anybody who bought a Baby Einstein video in the last 5 years can get their money back.

It turns out those Baby Einstein videos are not so good after all. In fact, Disney says they are not educational at all.


In fact the whole premise of the videos is a myth. Something called the "Mozart Myth." You know, all that stuff about playing classical music to babies in the womb.

Can Babies See Race?

A University of Texas study showed that babies as young as 6 months old can tell the difference between black and white.

Who Says Frozen Isn't as Good as Fresh?


So maybe you heard that Celine Dion is pregnant with an embryo that's been frozen for 8 years.

But you know what else? That's okay! Frozen embryos make healthier babies than fresh embryos!

Glass Half Full?


Babies know more than we think they know.  For example, most babies are able to pick the next winner of American Idol even during the "auditions" phase.

Just kidding.

But it does seem that most babies know what a liquid is, and how that's different than a solid.  Between actual liquids in glasses and solids that are supposed to look like liquids in glasses, babies stare longer at the solids - because they don't know what to make of it.  Which means they understand liquids in glasses already.

Bottom line is, babies know a lot more than we suppose they do.
