Wow i can’t believe your bub can watch tv already! Our LG still can’t even see us 😂 If i put anything on or infront of her she’s still really not interested because she can’t see much. I wouldnt worry about the tv time, at this stage i think there’s very little aside from what you’re already doing that you can do with them when they’re little potato’s! A small bit of tv each day isn’t going to hurt x

When did he start actually watching the tv? My boy is 3 weeks and I can’t wait for when I can put him in his bouncer in front of the tv and get a few minutes peace without holding him!! I really wouldn’t feel guilty about it, we all need a break!

@Leanne aww it’s so hard I keep thinking I’m not doing enough with him and being lazy xxx

@Samantha he started at 3 weeks I wasn’t fully aware how alert he was as he is my first haha I kept wondering why people kept commenting on how alert he was haha xx

@Samantha

@Samantha sorry for all the replies lol but he loves looking at the little toys on his swing also

@Shannon what have you got on the TV for him? My little girl loves looking at shapes and stuff so think she might like this x

@Lauren https://www.youtube.com/live/Visgx7_XaB8?feature=shared here the link it’s on YouTube I just type baby sensory tv and loads come up 🥰

Don't feel guilty, I have the TV on all day because my brain can't stand silence. When I have her on the floor (which is infront of the TV) she stares at the TV. She started doing this a few weeks back when mu husband was playing a really colourful game on the TV, she kept turning her head no matter how I was to the TV which was amusing.

Don’t feel guilty . Especially with what you are putting on for him! To be honest I might try it with my 7 week old 🙈 only way to get jobs done

@Shannon thank you! Yeah like others have said don’t feel guilty! You’re putting something on for him that will help his development! I know my mum used to put us in front of the TV for an hour or so in a morning and I turned out fine haha. It’s just everyone is so opinionated and judgemental these days xx
