When did you start entertaining your baby with tv?

My 3 month old is so amazed by television. I noticed him watching whatever we had on intently. So, I decided to try a simple nursery rhyme show. HE LOVES IT. Whilst feeling the excitement I felt having found a new and solid way to keep him busy.....I realized.....screentime is bad for babies they say! Ugh! It's one of those things actually, we said we won't ever use tv as a tool with our baby but then in the moment you're so desperate for a moment of peace you completely forget how against it you were .... Hey??? Relatable?

My kids liked “Hey Bear”, “Baby Einstein”, and “Super Simple Songs” when they were babies. I think as long as it’s here and there it’s does no harm.

When they got older 1-2yrs old they liked Yo Gabba Gabba a lot

@WaryWitchWandering super simple songs is exactly what I'm using. He LOVES the one that starts out with humpty Dumpty.

@Notsimilarreally it’s fine to use here and there so you can tend to household stuff or even take a breath!
