What do you think of putting a child under the age of two in front of the TV?

Do you think it’s okay if it’s only a couple of minutes while mom washes dishes?

Do you think it shouldn’t be done at all?

Note that the AAP says no TV watching under the age of two years old

But in researching this I’m hearing a lot of moms say they think it is okay so long as it is restricted amounts of time. Or they don’t care about the recs b/c they don’t know what else to do with baby while they clean etc..

Also if anyone can find any information on how much tv watching has negative affects then great, b/c I couldn’t find amount of time spent in front of the tv in the studies I read.
