Season 1 Review:
Ultimately, Babies is a lovely inclusive celebration of humans in their most compact, adorable form that slightly irritated me.

Season 1 Review:
Babies takes a non-linear approach when highlighting the families, editing in footage of infants and toddlers as dictated by the episode's theme, not the chronological progress of the child. ... This choppiness ultimately denies viewers the opportunity to bond with the babies as characters, so we instead start seeing them as objects to "prove" the developmental theories proposed by the episode's featured researchers.
