Hi! So I have a question. My son is almost 3 months old. I'm currently a SAHM so sometimes during the day I watch TV, I've noticed that the baby will look at the screen if he's faced near it. To be clear, I don't neglect him when I watch TV during the day and do plenty of developmental activities with him, but I was wondering if it's detrimental that he looks toward it sometimes. I imagine it's just an interesting colorful thing and that's why he was drawn to it but wanted to see what other people thought!

I think I read children shouldn’t have screen time until 1.5 2 years old. That being said my daughter will look at the tv sometimes too especially when the tv “sleeps” and the picture screen saver comes up. I think as long as you aren’t sitting them in front of the tv to have them watch for entertainment it’s probably not a huge issue.

Yeah I'm definitely not trying to put things on for him I generally just watch TV and have him face me so I can still play with him and talk to him, I was just getting nervous that maybe having it on would hurt him somehow

No way. Babies and toddlers are bound to look at the tv if its colorful and moving. Wouldn't worry about it.

Enjoy your time! It’s not like you’re putting shows on for him and sitting him in front of the tv like some people do!

My girls have always looked in the TVs direction, they don't necessarily watch it tho. My TV is always on because I hate to be in the quiet(and the complete dark) but they only time it really catches their attention I when theme songs play. They dance along to most of them.

I don't think it will hurt anything when they look at it.
