Are baby sensory videos bad for babies?

Screen time is bad for them yeah. It’s recommended no screen time at all before the age of 2. High in contrast screen time is one of the worst too

Yes there is research to suggest no screen time. But how many people do you know who watched tv as a baby and turned out fine? Disney kid here who also happens to be a teacher👋 I don’t actually put baby shows on as I find them overstimulating for myself never mind my baby. But she’s enjoyed an episode or 2 of friends and she’s a big fan of the golf when her dad has it on🤣 I wouldn’t personally substitute the flash cards for a YouTube video. But as long as she is not missing out on the right amount of human interaction, independent play with actual toys, and learning from real world such as you doing chores while she watches, then having some screen time is probably not going to cause any harm.

All these studies… what about us watching tv a lot? I swear everyone in my generation would watch cartoons and we are more than fine. It makes sense that watching tv can develop a fake autism that basically isn’t autism, but some children are not developed yet because all they do is watch tv, but how many watch tv non stop? Of course there’s not as many. I don’t see a problem in watching tv if it’s not a lot. But everyone does what they want with their children 🫶🏼🫶🏼 peace and love

I've seen explanations that the sensory type videos can be really overstimulating and have a kind of negative trance like effect rather than act in a positive, engaging way. For myself and my kid when he was a baby I felt better about playing more calm and slow moving things like nature documentaries. It felt like the least bad option lol. Moderation is always key with stuff like that. 100% no screen time ever is preached to be the goal but its totally understandable that it's not achievable for all of us.
