I'm a single mother and have a 3 month old boy. I was looking into getting him some DVDs and was wondering what advice everyone has.
I want to get him some DVDs for a few reasons. He does not enjoy tummy time, at all. I'm tried play mats, doing tummy time in his crib with me beside him, etc. However, he LOVES television. I don't have cable myself, but any time we're someplace with a tv on, he struggles to look at it, no matter how many times I turn him away. I was thinking I could lay him on the floor with a laptop at his head, meaning he could only watch it from his tummy. Also, as a single mother and a student, there are times I just can't be interacting with him. I've made him a Doman style checker board and printed a bunch of the infant stimulation cards, but he is just not that interested (although he likes going through the Bit cards with me). It'd be nice to have some sort of entertainment for him that isn't completely worthless.
What DVDs are somewhat cost effective and beneficial? I haven't heard great things about Baby Einstein. We have YBCR DVDs and he's liked them the few times I've played them, but I don't want to overplay them and make him bored.
Thanks!
