What's the deal with babies accidentally watching TV or films that you have on while they're around? As far as I heard, babies aren't supposed to watch TV as it may damage their vision and it's just not developmentally good for them. Unfortunately my DS is absolutely riveted by any TV or moving picture imagery of any kind. I generally don't watch TV very much and don't just have the TV on in the background all day but obviously I do watch the news every night and watch films from iTunes on my laptop sometimes etc. Even if he's on his baby gym or playing with a toy, he stops dead in his tracks and just watches the TV / laptop if I have anything on! If I listen to the radio instead, he twists around to find out where the interesting noise is coming from.
Another mother I joked with about it ('my DS is determined to be a TV addict!') seemed really unimpressed that I was letting DS 'watch' TV but I can't help it - if I'm watching anything he wants to 'watch' it too. Do I have to just not watch any TV or films when he's around?
