What do you think about letting newborns (3 months or younger) watch TV?

Asked by stemnyjones (3976points) December 11th, 2009

My 2 month old daughter is addicted to the TV. Every time she hears it, she turns her little head and searches for it. I don’t set her in front of it all day but, being a single mother, sometimes I need her to be distracted long enough for me to make her a bottle, make me food, answer the phone, etc. Do you think it’s unhealthy for her brain development or eyesight for her to be watching the TV this young?
