The most important thing is to be mindful of when you have the TV on - for yourself or your lo. Having it on just to "have it on" isn't good for kids or adults. On occasion, turning it on for "company" (as I find myself doing on Monday mornings when DH is back to work) is fine as long as you acknowledge that's what you are doing and don't just do it out of habit. It can prohibit us from really engaging with our children (or with our lives). Use it as a tool as you would anything, just be conscious of why you are doing it. It is helpful when my lo needs some down time or I need to make dinner, but I do explore other choices before switching it on.
