Flat screen in babies nursery?

Sorry but that seems overboard to me. ?Anyone else agree?

Yay that definitely seems overboard to me. What does the baby need a flat screen or any TV for ?

I can't imagine even me needing a tv in DD room for any reason and I BF for a year!

If it's part of a baby monitor, it hasn't been shown to reduce SIDS. If it's for TV, kids aren't supposed to watch TV until 2 years or so because it impedes development. So it sounds super stupid to me.

Just saw one in a nursery on the nursery decor board and was a little shocked! My DH said something about it so he could play "educational" videos and the history channel while he is in the crib and I laughed at him!

Yes - no TVs in kid's rooms periods.

Huh? Why would someone do this??

At first I thought I'd want one in there is to watch tv as I BF. But when I really thought about it, I think I'll want it to be a nice, quiet, peaceful time. The tv glare would be too strong for both of us at 3am!

I refuse to ever have a TV in my child's bedroom til she is a teenager at the earliest. I don't want my DC to get too dependent on a TV to fall asleep for one, and I also don't want them growing up watching TV 24/7. My friend's son is 2 weeks younger than my DD and he has a TV in his room and they have to put it on every night before bed and that is how he falls asleep. I have made it very clear to my DD's grandparents to not ever get her a TV because it will not be put in her bedroom. The playroom yes, the bedroom, no.

I think a TV of any kind is ridiculous.

I think it's crazy... That said we do have a TV in our baby's room. My husband used to work at Sears and sold TV's and anytime there was a great deal he bought a TV I think we have 5 or 6 TV's... I know it's a bit crazy for a 3 bedroom house but we already had them and DH wanted one in there so I let it go.

When my mom saw our nursery she asked where the tv was!!! ?Not for DC - for her!

I know from when she was watching my niece when she was little, my mom would be glued to the tv watching the sci-fi channel (she doesn't have cable at home). ?I made it clear that if we were having someone watch the baby, I would expect them to be doing things with the baby - not watching tv!?

My parents gave me a tv for my bedroom when I turned 18 (right before I left for college so I could take it with me). I will probably do the same for my children. I don't want to build a "separate" family existance where each member is off doing their own thing at all times.

The first time my child will have a TV in his/her room is when he/she moves out!

We don't even have one in our room, so definitely not putting one in the baby's room. I just feel if you want to watch TV, get up and go into the living room. Then again, our house is small and sometimes I wish we could watch separate TVs when we disagree about what to watch.
