lol Angel does the same thing...she could stare for ages at the light fixtures ...my sister would say 'If she saw the light today, she would totally walk into it' , lol, i think its a fascination lil bubs have, maybe something like seeing the faint light while still being in the tummy??....lol...and don't even get me started with the TV!! DH says the same thing too 'aww but we're watching the AB's!!' lol]]> Wed, 16 Sep 2009 23:20:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28078&PID=777558&title=staring-at-lightbulbs#777558 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28078&PID=750666&title=staring-at-lightbulbs#750666 Author: MrsH

MrsH - Corban was too cos I always had it going all morning, he would twist himself round like a contortionist to see it!!
I read somewhere that excessive TV watching in under twos is linked to ADHD due to it being overstimulating. Don't know whether I believe that but I'm not taking any chances! lol so the TV is now off. Although came home at the weekend from supermarket and Corban and Hubby are sitting on the couch watching some fishing show, Hubby is convinced "he likes it!" lol]]> Tue, 18 Aug 2009 13:45:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28078&PID=750539&title=staring-at-lightbulbs#750539 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28078&PID=750416&title=staring-at-lightbulbs#750416 Author: mamanee

Corban is obsessed with lights! They don't even have to be on. When ever we go somewhere new he will spend ages just staring up at the roof at the light fittings. He is also at the age of mucking around with BF'ing and lights are especially distracting for him! Glad to hear there are other babies that do it to - I was beginning to think there was something wrong with him! ]]> Thu, 13 Aug 2009 20:48:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28078&PID=746799&title=staring-at-lightbulbs#746799 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28078&PID=746788&title=staring-at-lightbulbs#746788 Author: Mamma2N

Callum does it all the time too. In our old place he constantly stared out the window if it was overcast and glary outside. And now he stares at ceiling fans like they're telling him the meaning of life.
