My 3 month old keeps watching TV if it's on. Is this ok?

Question

I do daily activities with him everyday like reading, playing, walking, but if I turn my show on he is just glued to the TV. Even when his toys are in front of him. Am I supposed to just never watch tv?😭

Answer

As long as he's not sitting there with a tablet in his face all day he's fine.  Or just to be safe, turn him the other way with his toys since he's too little to turn back as of now.

Answer

It’s not recommended because of the development of their language skills and some other things that screens can have a negative effect on.  Depends on your parenting style.  We let our 11 week old watch it while we’re burping him because he’s soooo hard to burp and has meltdowns if he isn’t distracted.  But we don’t park him in front of the TV ever, but the TV is always on in our house for background noise or with sports on.  
My SIL didn’t let her son watch TV until he was like 3-4 years old and now at 5 he’s an absolute monster about it, you can’t even have a conversation with the kid because he’s absolutely glued to it and has temper tantrums when you don’t let him watch it.

Answer

Its fine. He's just watching the colors change.

Answer

That’s exactly why they recommend no tv. Because instead of developing their brain and learning about the world they get hypnotized by the tv. 
Put your baby facing away from the tv. It isn’t okay!

Answer

I don’t watch much anymore unless my baby is in her play gym or rocker and I can just face her the other way.  If she catches a glimpse of the tv now and then it’s not a big deal but it’s not recommended by any of the pediatric associations for babies to watch tv.

Answer

Your 3 year old will also watch it on a tablet YouTube the fav show then the tv is all yours
