Does your baby watch TV?

Despite the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendation that parents not allow children under 2 years to watch tv, a new study this week (scroll down for a posting on it) shows that 40 percent of 3-month olds in the US do watch.

Is your baby among them?

If you're interested in sharing your thoughts on TV viewing for young children -- what do you feel safe allowing your baby to watch? under what circumstances do you let them watch? -- please contact me at meltz@globe.com.
