It’s the main thing that calms him down and he absolutely loves it, thinking hopefully there’s nothing wrong with that as long as he’s getting lots of other stimulation too?

We have it before every nap and before bed time. So yea half n hour three times a day. I don’t mind because my son has learnt to make “k”, “p” and “m” sounds because of her.

Same.. I use her a lot but mostly if we’re out and I need them to stay in their high chairs 😄 I’ll have her on in the morning until nap time but that’s kind of it. Nothing wrong with giving urself a break 🩷

we have it all day when he is not happy (teething, sick, whatever) and trust me some days it’s the only thing can calm him down
or if the weather it’s good we go out for a walk
when he his happy he don’t get any screen time at all, he crawls around the house all day running after balls or after me lol

Only have the song compilations on. He loves Up and Down and One Little Blue Fish. Constantly asking for them
He learned how to say bubble (sounds more like bubbo) and now will to the action of fish and say bubbo bubbo until we turn it on.
Today I saw him picking up his left foot and shaking it to hokey pokey

Some days it's on alllllll day! Most of the time it's just for back ground noise but if he's poorly/teething etc he sits and watches it more x

We use her for the car as it’s the only thing that keeps her from crying and screaming! 😅

mines the same as soon as we wake up she’s on, ms Rachel and super simple songs as well 🤣 some people will judge with the ‘too much screen time’ but if it keeps him entertained and learning new stuff I don’t see what’s wrong with it 🤷🏼♀️

Yeah my daughter loves it, I put it on when I need to get some work done or if she's in a fussy mood it defo calms her down and they say it's good for them too, not like other tv shows

We usually go the morning without her… on good days, when they’re not poorly or teething and then we do have it on most of the afternoon. They both love ms Rachel and when they’re fussy after naps or before tea, she calms them down and so I can get some jobs done xxx

Does my head in after a while 😂 but yes, it's on a lot. When it's not im singing to him can you say Mama? A great help at many times when out too

I have the telly on throughout the day mainly for background noise when i’m home with the kids just to take away loneliness. Here and there I’ll have on a show the kids watch, like before naps, if i want a cup of tea in peace, whenever i’m eating a meal and also when i’m doing the washing up and stuff.
So long as theres other stimulation and outside time, play time and all that jazz i don’t see a problem

I put it on once to see what the hype was about - I see the appeal and admittedly one one year loved it - but it went straight off - want an irritating woman 😂😂
My baby doesn’t winge relentlessly or need calming down - he’s quite a chilled baby that nothing that interaction from another adult or music won’t sort.
When out and about or in restaurants he will happily engage with those around him.
Each baby is different but I never wanted to introduce her or use it as a method so havn’t :
Since a baby he has happily played on his own with his toys when I’ve needed to get jobs done.

We have it on most of the day he wonders around the house playing but always peeps back when his best bits are on
