Thanks to Auntie Bri, Arie has some brand new Baby Einstein videos. They say they're appropriate for ages 0-3 years. The American Pediatrics Association doesn't recommend TV before age 2. So, we let Arie watch Baby Einstein (he loves it), but we're careful to only do it when we're DESPERATE for some entertainment for the kid when we have important work to get done. He loves it! We love it, too!
Refreshing to see parents who try to make informed decisions regarding TV instead of just assuming it must be ok because they enjoy it. Even the best parents have to compromise.
I'd stay vigilant though. Some of our friends let their infants watch TV whenever they like and the effects are not good at all (disturbed sleep, less happy playing etc).
