the Baby Channel on tv - Infant Care (up to 18 months old) Message Board

I have a satellite and it has the baby channel on it.. I was just wondering if anyone actually subscribes to it and if it seems like its helping your baby with any developments??

I was wondering this myself... LOL! I haven't called yet to see how much it is....

LOL, a TV will not help with development. In fact, it will hinder it. Electromagnetic radiation, which is emitted from televisions, actually slows brain waves, which can have long lasting effects.

My DD is not allowed to watch TV. In fact, I've been keeping it off most of the day for myself too.

I'm sure a thorough google search will point you in the right direction if you're interested in researching it for yourself.

They had a 30 day free trial period when it first came out. I watched a little of it here and there. During the day is the children's programing, and night is stuff for the parents. I didn't care much for it, but if it were always free I'd probably watch occasionally. I wouldn't even consider paying for it, waste of money IMO.

I think it was $10 or $15 per month...I watched a bit when it was free and it was irritating for me, but ds (still in womb) liked the music.
