Reply to comment by bomemachi in A new study suggests that too much screen time during infancy may lead to changes in brain activity, as well as problems with executive functioning — the ability to stay focused and control impulses, behaviors, and emotions — in elementary school. by Wagamaga
I remember reading something a while back that said baby shows like Cocomelon are designed to be overstimulating so that the baby can't process anything else going on around it. That way parents get some breathing time etc, but overstimulation for long periods for infants can be like a drug where they need more and more to feel normal.
If any screen time is to be had for infants, it should always be interactive, not overstimulating to the point that they go still.

Is it designed to be overstimulating? Or perhaps they designed it stimulating enough to keep the attention a human with very very little attention span. To be honest it would not be a successful baby show if it did not draw their attention or interest, its more so about moderating how much they watch
