TV screen time and attention span

Yes, I am aware of the multiple posts with babies and screen time and how it’s bad because it replaces the time they could learn/socialise/spend with the caretaker.

I would like to know if screen time, specifically TV (no iPad no smartphone) impacts negatively the attention span of toddlers.

I have a toddler and a 4 month old, sometimes I am lucky that my toddler finds an occupation and I can put my baby down for the night, sometimes toddler is a Velcro and it’s impossible to make one step without her. So I put Gabby and the dollhouse while I take care of the baby.

My husband was not happy about that at all and told me to find any solution but this, saying that the tv will make her stupid with no attention span or a very short one. Is he right about that? She’s 2 yo

Thank you to everyone taking the time to research this!
