Get her a walker. The ones with wheels. This has been a game changer for me and my boy as he can follow me round happily. But also we watch Disney films together all of the time because we like them. Just do what you want and don’t worry about what people on the internet say. She’s your baby xx

My girl watches ms Rachel and loves some CBeebies programmes too. She is 6 months and can sit, wave, clap, say mama and dada…it hasn’t negatively affected her 🤷🏻♀️ x

I don't specifically put TV on for him, but he will look at the TV of I am watching something.

my younger brother was obsessed with tv and computer screens from day 1 and my mum never restricted it due to it making her life easier with 4 kids on her own, he’s now studying computer science at Oxford university after 3A*’s at A level looool.. tv can’t mess up kids that much

Thanks everyone made me feel better. 😁 xx

I wish mine watched it but he’s just not fussed at all! 😂 don’t feel bad, we’re all juggling! X

I've just stuck Ms Rachel on now for my LG as she will not let me put her down or play with her toys. I need a break from being all sticky 🤣

sooo sticky 😂😅🥵

@Rachel And now I will have this stuck in my head for the rest of the day... Icky sticky sticky sticky sticky bubblegum bubblegum... 🎶

I sing this song daily 🤣🤣

My baby loves cocomelon and little baby bum she's 11 months old, she even claps to BINGO now

my nephew loves it and it sticks in my head like crazy!

My baby is 10mths and no tv. I don’t sit and watch tv myself though so he never really has ever had the opportunity to watch it.
when he is “on his own” he plays with his toys in his playpen happily enough

He only watches a little bit. WFH I wish he was entertained by it a little longer lol tbh
