Anybody who has a baby, or who's spent an hour with a baby, knows that babies heart TV. Anything with a glowing screen -- iPhones, computers, cameras -- babies want in on. And while it's cute to see a wee one crane their neck to catch a glimpse of "what's on television", it isn't recommended. The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly urges parents to shun their kids from television until they're 2-years-old. The AAP website says: "Television and other entertainment media should be avoided for infants and children under age 2. A child's brain develops rapidly during these first years, and young children learn best by interacting with people, not screens." True that. So, why are so many moms plopping their babies in front of the television these days?Image may be NSFW.
