My 18 month old is addicted to watching barney on my ipad. hours at a time if we let her. is this unhealthy behavior? luckily no barney at daycare :)

Yes, unhealthy: You have controll over this. Take the ipad away and spend some time with your baby. Infants should not be spending hours watching ipads or tv s.
