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?

The best part at that age is you can just kinda watch whatever you want because it doesn't really matter yet.

@MethDozer maybe some people. I've found myself editing our tv preferences in front of him though...the violence blood and gore we see so casually on tv now days, he doesn't need in his precious little developing brain 🧠

.....I don't know who I am anymore 😆

@Notsimilarreally Best to familiarize and expose when young to avoid any later life trauma seeing. You gotta callous up a kid
