Exactly. I'm really avoiding the Disney while he's small. When he's bigger I won't be such a stickler about it, but I just don't think it's healthy for him to develop attachments to Disney characters as an infant.
I have a friend with an autistic child (she's 13 now) who is OBSESSED with the Disney Princesses. The sheer intensity of her obsession, and the amount of money they spend on crap to fulfill her obsession, horrifies me on so many levels.
