Is it ok to let my 18 month old watch 2-3 minute cartoons a few times a week? Or is no digital viewing advised till they're 2?

I let my gal n baby watch tv , but I will restrict the duration , I won't let her watch too long

Educational cartoon like Disney club house, Hi-5. They will enjoy and learn faster.

thats fine for me..I let my child watch daily and i think it helps in learning too.

The American Academy of Paediatrics recommends NO screen time for children under 2 years.
