When can a baby watch TV?




chongran


My daughter is 3.5 months. she is very fond of watching TV. I hope this can help her concentrate her self. However, I heard watching TV is very harmful to the baby eyes ----even it is LED monitor. Also it is harmful for that it may impair the positive thinking. Can anyone tell me when can i let my daughter watch TV for more than 10 minutes?


Answer
There is absolutely no reason to even consider letting an infant that young watch TV. Right now you should be thinking of ways to actively stimulate her development not worrying about when it would be appropriate. http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2011/10/infant-tv-guidelines/

It is recommended that you wait until at least 2 for screen time and even then limit it.

unborn baby's heartbeat slower because I was lying on my back?

I am a week late to have my baby and yesterday at my midwife appt the baby's heartbeat was slower than usual. My midwife said this was because I was lying on my back which babies app don't like! Has anyone else heard this before?
Once I moved onto my side it got faster but every other time I have been I've laid on my back and it has been normal and when I've been monitored at the hopsital. Just beginning to panic that I should have looked into this further at the time. I'm seeing my midwife again tomorrow but am worrying that in the meantime something might be wrong and I wouldn't know about it until it is too late.

Hope this helps!

During the second half of pregnancy, avoid sleeping on your back, a position that puts the full weight of your uterus on your spine, back muscles, intestines, and the inferior vena cava (the vein that transports blood from your lower body to the heart). Back-sleeping can also put you at risk for backaches and hemorrhoids, inefficient digestion, and impaired breathing and circulation. Lying on your back in the second and third trimester can also cause changes in blood pressure. For some women, it can cause a drop in blood pressure that can make them feel dizzy; for others, it can cause an unwanted increase in blood pressure.
