do you think it is OK for a baby to be watching shows on TV?

I know they are too young to understand anything but I sometimes leave my 10 month old in front of the TV to "watch" cartoons while I do some chores.

i think it is OK. the moving pictures can stimulate his brain.

yeah... but don't let him stay too long... it's not called the "idiot box" for nothing!

hahahah! you got that right... TV is good but too much is also bad!

why not put on music instead? or putting him in his crib with lots of toys?

itsmejoan - December 14th, 2010 3:45 AM

yeah... just make sure the toys are big enough so that he wont eat them while you're not looking.

i think it's ok just as long as you dont do it all the time. there are other activities like playing inside the crib that is more productive than having them sit in front of the tv.

cara_donnie - December 19th, 2010 4:07 AM

yes so long as it is not all the time and for long periods of time!

i think they are too young for the TV. if you're gonna do some chores why not put him inside his crib with some toys?

i think he's too young to be sitting in front of the TV. He can play with toys inside the crib if you need to do chores. Or the music suggestion is also good.
