What age?

Question

I know you're not supposed to let them watch TV until they're older, but I need something to keep my LO occupied while I get stuff done. At what age did your LO watch TV and stay calm with it? Mine is 7w.

Answer

Wear him instead.

Answer

So I’m weird and keep the tv on all day while I’m on maternity leave. I do it more for me than anything. It’s like I need the added noise/feeling like I’m not alone with a baby all day, lol. I do PBS kids while he’s awake so he’s hearing baby friendly stuff and I interact with him - singing the songs, talking to him about the characters in the show, responding to the characters questions - while he does tummy time, listens to music in his swing, we play with toys, etc. while he’s nursing or sleeping, that’s when I eat and watch one of my shows. I’ve done this with my other two kids and they’re 6 and 2. They barely watch tv now and we don’t play on iPads, tablets, and I do not allow YouTube. My kids are very outdoorsy and their tv time is a Friday night movie night. So doing tv on during their first few months, more so for my sanity, definitely has not had any adverse effects on my other two kids. I think my third will be just fine.

Answer

My son watches baby sensory videos on YouTube. He’s 11w. We set him in his bouncer and he watches colors and shapes on the tv. I don’t keep him in front of it for HOURS, but it’s part of his learning time during the day. And helps him stay calm and quiet while I get stuff done.

Answer

When I’m eating or making food I put our little guy in his bouncer and put on a music playlist for him to listen to and he usually watches the ceiling fan 😂, but I’ll sing to the playlist when he’s in there and talk to him.

Answer

My boy will be 7 weeks old and loves tv! He watches Sesame Street , boss baby and more lol . Why they can’t watch tv ?

Answer

We started letting our son watch YouTube videos around 18 months, and only when we’re with him, with a time limit.  Can’t your infant enjoy a bouncy chair with a toy bar?

Answer

That's way way too young for tv. Can you do tummy time? Swing? Baby wear? Play mat? Do it during naps?

Answer

My baby is 7 weeks and watches veggie tales, he loves it! I obviously don’t let him sit there for hours but while I get a few things done I let him watch it.
