We held off on all TV until about 18 months, but LE was one of the first things she watched at that point. since 2, it's been LE, Sesame Street and Curious George with the occasional movie thrown in. Things like Bugs Bunny, Tom and Jerry, etc. can actually be a little frightening for little little kids, so tread carefully - you never know what's going to set your child off!

And trust me on the Little Einstein DVDs - it's classical music with shiny objects on the screen. The kids get mesmerized, and you get a half-hour nap. :) For my kids, it went like this…
