I am curious to hear others thoughts on babies and TV. My 13 week old LOVES to stare at the TV. Is this okay? He sometimes watches baby Einstein videos when I need a few minutes to myself, but if he is in a room with a TV he loves to watch whatever is on!

I think it's OK in moderation. My ds has 25 minutes a day of TV - he has one episode of Balamory a day - and he loves it. I don't worry b/c I don't think this is excessive, he really enjoys it, and like you said, it gives me a couple of minutes.
I am, however, quite strict with dp that the TV goes off when it doesn't 'need' to be on - I don't like it on in the background, b/c I think ds finds it distracting

I was wondering the same thing. My dd loves to stare at the TV (and she has for months now) so much so that I usaully have it turned off when she is in the room, otherwise she wont pay any attention to me. ;) I do let her watch Baby Einstein dvd's though when I am trying to coax her into taking a bottle because they are a great distraction!
