Is it okay that my baby watches online videos a few times a day?

Question

My baby is 1 year and 4 months. And he lovessss when I put baby music videos on YouTube. For example, baby shark, ABC song, BINGO songs well you get the point...He loves it so much that he won't stay still when he eats unless I put on one of his songs. 
He watches a few minutes in the morning and a few minutes in the afternoon. OFCOURSE, I have him play. He has a bunch of toys and sometimes I take him outside so he can walk around or we play with him. i know its wrong exposing young children to technology at a young age. And Im not here to get BASHED, I just want to know if any mom is going through something similar.

Answer

Yes! We have an iPad we don’t use just for our two year old to watch very small amounts of songs/nursery rhymes!
I don’t care what “experts” say. My son has actually learned quite a bit from his shows and it’s not like he’s drinking a Coca-Cola while watching them.

Answer

My son has had his own tablet since he was a little over one. (Always educational things and adult supervision). He isn’t addicted to it he’ll play with it a little during the day and legos the rest of the day or on long car rides. I don’t see anything wrong with it and I don’t care if people think I’m a bad mom. He’s creative and smart for a 3 year old

Answer

My cousin has had an ipad since he was a little over 1. Now he uses it for Thomas videos. He can name all of the trains and what they do. Half the time he watches half a video and then puts it down and plAys with toys. Honestly the more access they have to it, they get bored and move on. Its when it is treated like a reward or privilege is when they get “sucked in”

Answer

Honestly those baby videos can help you’re baby learn things

Answer

I don’t see the big deal.
