Gawd, this is going to sound so stupid.

My darling little one always seems to watch telly when she has the opportunity, like when we're having a cuddle with Daddy on the couch or Daddy's holding her whilst watching cricket so I can make lunch etc. (seems to love cricket btw). Anyways, I really didn't want her to watch TV at all until she was much bigger, like school age because I want our kids to be able to entertain themselves and use imagination. We play together everyday and have set play times throughout the day where we read, sing, massage, nappy off time in the breeze etc. all sorts of things. But we also have the Baby Einstein series, which for the first time today I put one on and we listened to the music and watched the colours etc. I swear she cackled herself just about through the entire thing (just started to laugh properly the last week or two - loves laughing at herself in the mirror) no idea what was so funny but she seemed to love it. I felt bad for letting her watch it even though she seemed to enjoy it so much so I googled it and found a study on wiki.

To me it sounds like the problems associated with telly and baby vids are if it is a daily thing? Do you think it would be horrible of me to show her one every week or something? She just seems to love it so much and it's pretty funny to watch her. I suppose the alternative for me to do is just buy a classical DVD...

Please give me your comments, advice and feedback. I don't mind what is said, I'd like to hear it all.
