My baby is obsessed with all the programs the cable channel in Metro Manila, BabyTv, offers. What's the safest number of hours (or minutes) that I can let her watch?

Healthy Children run by American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that kids under 2 years of age shouldn't watch TV at all. Yet, as parents, that's really challenging given all the other chores and jobs that we have to accomplish. If TV can't be avoided at all cost, better limit screentime for up until two hours to minimize the negative effects of TV exposure such as language development and delay, as well as short term memory loss.
