Child development experts strongly suggest that children under 2 years of age (that includes your baby) not watch any TV. The images on TV are too overwhelming for babies and it also takes time away from them moving, exploring the environment around them, and interacting with family and friends. You may have noticed that there are lots of media products for children under three years of age being marketed to parents. These media products such as educational videos, television programs, and 24 hour television channels for babies may look appealing, but there is no evidence that these products make babies smarter. Through research we do know that babies learn best by being able to move around and interact
with people and things in their environment.
