My lil one is 6 mths and really attracted to the TV. Hubs and I would like to control TV time. At what age do they start to become aware and potentially get hooked? How much TV time should we allow?

I guess we all grew up watching tv as there were not many sources of entertainment during our generation. I would say a little bit of tv is ok maybe about 10 mins every day for babies and slightly more for toddlers and young children. Stipulated tv time can also be done, for example 10 mins after waking up from their nap, up to you. Tv time can give sahm mummies like us some free time to throw the laundry into the washer or just grab a cuppa and chill. I grew up watching a fair amount of tv but in no way did it dampen my love for books and learning. In fact I learnt a lot as a kid from educational programmes. As an adult now I do not like to watch tv. :)
