LB, even if you assume that this person is serious, what other restrictions is he going to suggest employing when the baby is old enough to move around, go outside, etc. Should we blindfold our children when they go outside? Unfortunately we do not live in a pure society and just going to the main intersection down the street if you live in chutz la’aretz, or going to the center of town even if you live in Yerushalayim, you can be exposed to things many people would prefer they weren’t, even just going on a bus. This is why many people prefer to live in frum neighborhoods and send their children to school on private transportation, to avoid these kinds of things. I am not sure that we are able to keep to a level of purity that is suggested by some of the restrictions you mention. Listening to any particular person, unless that person is a recognized godol, should not be a requirement. What does this Duvid Chaim say? How did his name come to be mentioned in the shiur? I do not think it is a matter of overlooking things, but there are some common sense guidelines that should be employed to strain out the things that might be on the fringe. You should concentrate on getting the main things, Shabbos, Kashrus, Tznius, and make sure that you get the hashkafa things from recognized rebbeim and Roshei Yeshiva, not just anybody who decides to record a shiur and put it on Torah Anytime (I am not saying there is anything wrong with that site, and I have no idea how shiurim get posted there).
