This video shows the real day-to-day responsibilities of taking care of a newborn. The title, "Begin With Love", promotes beginning and ending with loving your baby. The parents are real, showing their real feelings and nervous anticipation of in-the-moment challenges. I think all newborn parents can easily relate with these parents. It would have been nice to see added clips of parents who had been through the ordeal offering their real-life solutions. Although I think 30 minutes is too short to give all the solutions to infant care-taking, it definitely offers great advice to new parents. The narration is great at explaining what the nervous parents can't articulate. The advice of the doctors threaded in-between the scenes of the nurture-challenged parents adds excellent solutions on caring for newborns. And the adorable faces of these babies tugged at my heart in watching them endure their first weeks adapting to this world. A great visual insight to what our lives are all about!

I watched the Oprah show where she talked about this video and it's really so amazing. Too many parents, especially young ones, may not realize just how important those first months of life are--you can really shape your baby's future, for better or worse. I'm going to give this video as a gift to all my friends who are expecting. Keep up the good work, Oprah!

Be it giving birth, cuddling, powdering your baby or even the not as lovely task of changing poo-poo'd diapers, Oprah has it all down, all her bases covered and all of her t's crossed and i's dotted. Are you sensing my awe and ecstatic glee of all things Oprah here, people? You should be! Whatever she touches is instant gold and this tape is no different! If this is sold out don't wait -- go and get it from your closest video retailer. If someone in front of you in line has the last copy gouge out their eyes with your thumbs and take theirs -- they won't need it anylonger and you will be happy that you did!
