Baby watching tv before bed

You’re her mum, you make a decision what is suitable for your baby lovely x

My little girl has watched tv her whole life! More than ten mins a day. She’s two now and she can literally hold a conversation. I believe it’s from learning so much from TV. Like above said it’s up to you!! X

I use to get hung up on this too. But the way I see it, That is calming and and in moderation. Doesn’t seem like it could do any harm. Plus it’s less stimulating than some of the 6 month toys we just got for Christmas. 🤣

My LO is watches something similar live video of coral reef with relaxing music just before bed and puts straight to sleep don’t see the harm if it works☺️lol x

No, your baby will be absolutely fine.
It’s not like you sit her in a bouncer all day 24/7 with only the TV for interaction.
My daughter is obsessed with Finding Nemo, and I mean OBSESSED!
She gets plenty of play time, singing, books, independent play, time out of the house, classes etc. a little time watching Nemo so I can shower or cook tea isn’t doing her any harm.
You’re doing fine and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise ☺️

My baby watches a little Hey Bear in the morning when I get everything ready for the day then before for bed he watches Dorys Cam on Disney+ for a little. Have you tried Dorys Cam? I love it, it has white noise and the nemo characters!

I wanna fall asleep to this!!!! 😍

So pretty

The reason it’s not recommended for babies to watch tv especially before bed is because the blue light from the tv stimulates the receptor cells in the eyes that stop the production of melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that regulates your circadian rhythm and helps you fall asleep, and it’s only produced in response to darkness. That’s the scientific background to the reason for no tv before bed. If your baby sleeps after watching that then I guess it’s ok. Not sure what the long term effects of it are though. You’d have to do more research about it.

my little boy loves this aquarium videos too! He can just calm down instantly when he sees it and funny enough, he is babbling " ish " when seeing fish ,lols yet no mumma or dada ..

My little one loves the aquarium videos. It soothes him. Before he was born I was adamant no tv. But if he’s upset and he’s been fed nappy changed had a nap. He will instantly stop if I put it on.

He gets super excited when the sharks on worm things come on now 😂

My little boy watches Peppa Pig. He’s not interested in anything else on the TV apart from that. I let him watch it because it makes him happy and it allows me to do things around the house and a breather! She’s your baby lovely, you do whatever you want with her x

Do what works for you all! X

My baby does tummy time in front of the tv otherwise she cries. 5/ 10 mins isn’t hurting anyone x

I think I need to do this for myself 🥹
Projectors do produce blue light but it doesn’t hit the eye directly unless you are staring at the actual projector. Unless your room is pitch black with absolutely no light even from that egg thermostat, and the light blinking from the alarm etc. it is difficult to completely not have any blue light in the room at all.
Also, TV now isn’t like how it used to back in the day. This is a great idea in my opinion.

I have this too but won’t fit on her next to me so she gets to relax on my bed untill she falls asleep x

oh no I’ll try that I bet she’ll love it! 🥰 thanks x

must admit I was nearly failing asleep x
