No screen time is recommended in the first 2 years of life. There is so much sensory stimulation from tv for that age. Putting on any shows or screens on for your child this age is not going to benefit them in any way
They can't see that far, so it's a waste of time and also they shouldn't have any screen time til 2. Now making it til 2 is really hard (very few parents do) but it should be pretty easy to make it to their first birthday.
Honestly do what works for you. In the first few months of my son’s life, he was very unsettled and sometimes the only way to get him to feed was to put it on. Yes, no screen time is ‘best’ but it’s actually more about not leaving them alone to watch tv for extended periods
Do whatever works! I do but at a reasonable distance.
However only if he’s really unsettled . Otherwise there’s no need
Each to their own. I find it helps with tummy time and also allows me to fold washing and put it away whilst bubs is on the bed. I also love the contrast which is no different to putting a card in front of them. As long as it's in moderation you do you hon. Don't let others shame you if this is something that allows you to have a shower or get one thing done off of your to do list.
Hey. I tried this dancing fruits with my son, and he loved it. Only did it for a short time here and there just to get things done. I also found music helped as well. My boy was a huge fan of 80s hits! We would have music playing in the background while we played. Also, don't listen to all the negativity. You know what's best for you and your baby. You're doing an amazing job!!!
Don't listen to others, do what works for you. People love to preach screen time is bad, before all these 'rules' parental did whatever. As long as it's not all day and try educational things there's no issues
@Fleur actually incorrect, colour against black has proved to be amazing for eye tracking from a young age
@Rachel you’re absolutely right.. colour against black is great for newborns… but it is not recommended on screens as it does not help with visual development and screens can actually be harmful for visual development https://www.mykidsvision.org/knowledge-centre/screen-time-for-babies-and-toddlers-what-is-ok#:~:text=Screen%20time%20is%20thought%20to,3%20to%204%20year%20olds.
My son was walking by 9 months and talking full sentences by a year. People stop in their tracks when they find out hes not even 3 yet. Personslly, ofc limit screen time but i see no issues with it at certain times. My son absolutely loved hey bear sensory and even noe to this dsy asks for it as he enjoys the colours of the fruits and the music. He counts and names all the fruits and even asigns a fruit to each family member 😂
The way I see it, the contrast is easy for them to see and the music isn't all that bad. An easy distraction from time to time.
