Baby channel

Do you let your LO watch the developmental baby program on TV?  This last week has been so hectic, packing, selling our house, etc,  I needed to park her with toys and I put the program on, she casually glances at it.  I feel so guilty but how harmful could it be?!

    I'm not sure watching the TV is their main focus just yet. Our TV is always on to what we watch and he only ever glances at it while he's playing so I'm guessing the baby development program is way better :). I wouldn't worry too much about it. No harm done. I'm pretty sure Z spends most of the morning at his sisters house watching Dinosaur Train :) He loves it and is the only thing so far that will capture his attention for more than 2 minutes :)

    I turn on some baby show, like Thomas or Little Tikes on mornings I need to prep supper or put some laundry in. I bet I can count on one hand how many times I've actually seen him stare at it.

    I have the tv on sometimes during the day for noise. K may look at it if it makes a louder noise, but her actually watching is very rare. I don't see any harm in it.

    My DS loves tv.  He stares at it almost hypnotically, so I really have to be careful about how much it's on around him.  I'm always having to hound DH about it, too xD

    I also can't open the laptop with him around, and or need to sit behind him, checking things on my phone, or reading on the Kindle, or else he'll just try to take it from me =P

    It is helpful to have something to distract him, when he's really upset, or I have to do something like eat for the first time in eight hours.  But even if he does end up watching something, I just try to focus on all the other things I do with him, to help counter any possible negative affects (like physical activities, reading, singing, etc.)

    I definitely don't think you should feel bad for having the tv on ;)
