I don’t understand still what’s the problem with the dummy…i gave my little one dummy when he was few days old.. screen time..we always play youtube for lullabies otherwise my baby won’t sleep..and recently i play for him Mrs Rachel and he absolutely loves her..(the smile on his face when he sees her…makes me melt)and you’re right…its hard enough!
No judgement here! I wish my baby had taken a dummy, he just wasn’t interested even though I kept trying 😂 I do screen time when I need to get something done. I think tv and stuff is really demonised but as long as it’s not all the time I think it’s fine. They’re going to have screens in their life whether you like it or not.
Completely agree! Do what works for you! My first had a dummy from about 2 weeks and I wish my second took to one! Would have made life easier! Parenting is HARD!
My baby loves baby tv it really calms her and is part of her day she absolutely loves billy bam bam and the whole gang tbf!! Her little face lights up with big smiles when they come on the screen! I dunno why there is a such a stigma around it tbh! My little girl is loved and cared for best way possible, I’m not gonna think I’m a bad mam for letting her watch baby tv or nursery rhymes 🤣 she still plays etc. I think what works for you then do, if your baby is content etc why make it harder?! Hey ho, each to their own xx
It's hard enough being a parent without people making you feel like you're doing everything wrong. My oldest son is about to go into year 3 and his school use tablets, you can't so no when their at school. Your baby won't have a dummy when their a teenager. Happy baby happy mummy.
I need screen time to help me get stuff done around the house. There is no harm in it at all. I just try to let her not watch it for too long it’s only when I need to get stuff done if she won’t nap
If I didn’t let her have screen time I wouldn’t have had the wholesome moment I had tonight- she was watching Ms Rachel and she started doing the actions to twinkle twinkle. Genuine tears were shed haha. We watch tv in a morning and then an hour before bed. I have no shame. She’s happy. Love what @Sarita said. Happy baby happy mummy 🩷
Most things people get on their high horse about aren’t bad when done on occasion. But certain things I do feel like you reap the benefits of later if you don’t start off with “bad habits”. I don’t want to disclose what my personal no nos are because I know you will all jump on my back. My boy does watch 5-10 minutes every few days of mr tumble because we are learning makaton and I think that’s entertaining, engaging and a good learning opportunity for both of us. We love doing the mr tumbles Hokey Cokey just for fun 😂
I tried to give my LO a dummy but she wouldn't take it 🤣. We don't have screen time but I am not against it at all. We just don't watch TV really even when the kids are in bed. I think it is each to their own and no way is better or worse than the other xx
Hahahaha we’re all the perfect parents till we actually become parents. There’s so many things I thought I’d do/ wouldn’t do and some of them have just completely gone out the window. I have firm no’s, then other things I don’t actually care about. Example screen time yeah fine, we’re all attached to our screens they’re going to grow up with it. However watching YouTube is a no. 🤷🏽♀️
