We dont't let our baby watch any kiddie channel at home.
She seems to enjoy Channel News Asia or Youtube (animal clips or sesame st programmes).
She watches one Elmo DVD at our place which I use to distract her when I cut her hair monthly. Unfortunately, at my mother & sis place, she watches Dora DVDs very regularly. She jumps w excitement whenever she sees Dora.
Currently, my girl is able to sit thro a 10-20 page book easily. I find Okto's commercials have fast-changing images. So, we've decided no kiddie TV as much as possible in case she gets used to snappy editing & loses her interest in books.
can i ask how old is your baby gal?
we let my boy watch BabyTV becos it's more peaceful and slow-moving. we just started him on Baby Signing Time DVD. usu abt 30min watching time and usu during his meal-times. i also expose him to phonics CD, educational hands-on toys and lots of books; we go to the library every 3 weeks and cart home mroe than 10 books each time.
i think at the end of the day, it's all abt balance between the different resources.
