Television watching - Is this bad for babies?

I have read from several articles that television watching is not recommended for babies below 2 years of age. There are even studies supporting the negative effects of television watching to children.

We made a house rule that television is a No-No for our baby. If there's a show that we want to watch. What we do is positioned my baby's back facing the tv. It is important that this rule will be agreed by everyone in your home, most specially the yaya. Read maintaining healthy family habit.

Programs that I let my baby watch as of yesterday is an eductaional set of dvd's I bought at a discounted price at SM... A Vocabulary Builder by BabyBumbleBee which contains 5 volumes in 3 DVDs. I only let my baby watch it for 15-30 minutes. The background music is classical and it repeatedly shows common objects with real ones and says aloud the name of objects shown. We do not leave her to watch alone, instead we interact with her while watching.

My baby's Milestones from 0-6 months

It wasn't long that she was still in my womb and now she's an active 6 months old baby who loves to explore her toys or anything she can grab into her mouth. I'm a proud and happy mommy. Until now her source of nourishment is only from. The only trouble I got was when she had colds other than that just rashes, insect bites and now a diaper rash (partly my fault because she wears diapers 24/7 will talk more on  this on my next post)...

Will just back track on my baby's development...

My baby started to turn on her tummy on her own when she was just 3.5 months old, by then around 4 months she would love to roll over and over. So, we surround her with pillows to prevent her from falling over. She drools a lot when she turned 5 months and tries to grab at objects at 4 months. Also, her eye sight has improved alot around 4 months I think.

My baby squirms and kicks when she's excited or when she's happy. She makes a funny face when she's so focus on something. Like when she's playing. She loves to make bubbles with her saliva and make funny sounds at 5 months. She only fussy when she's sleepy or hungry (well, we noticed that she was like this when she was 5 months before that she cries usually in the afternoon and we have no idea why).   She reaches out when she wants to be carried. She seems to have a favorite toy.

That's it. If only I can be with her all the time so that I can witness all her firsts. But a working mom can only do much and has to delegate a trusted yaya to look after her baby.
