I feel guilty re: TV

I know more than 1/2 hr of TV is not recommended for babies under 2. But sometimes A watches more than 1/2 hr, usually Mickey Mouse or Baby Einstein. I feel so guilty but sometimes I just need down time and that's the only way I can get it and 1/2 hr is not enough! Please make me feel less guilty, lol...

    We let T watch Sesame Street every morning  Embarrassed  Personally I think if its educational its fine, and its not like you're parking him in front of the TV for hours on end... that would be different, IMO.

    Ummm, I'm with you.  Sometimes mine watch more.  Sometimes less.  I try not to stress about it.  I just encourage book reading and playing and other things and hope it'll work out.

    We usually do a half hour in the morning & again at some point in late afternoon, like when I am trying to cook.

    Have you ever tried to give a breathing treatment to a wiggily 9 month old?  TV is the only way to get him to do that.

    Yep, we use a little tv to distract while I cut DD's nails.  But I have to admit, other than that and visits to grandma in the nursing home, she doesn't see much tv during the week.

    I thank the powers that be every day for Sesame Street. Especially now with Morgan I have to have something to distract Brigid. So sue me. At least I stopped watching CSI with her. Wink
