Toddler behaviour and tantrums

I know toddlers are toddlers, but I’ve seen videos and read stories about cutting out certain overstimulating shows can help with behaviours. My little girl has learnt so so much from watching YouTube, but it’s obviously affecting her behaviour so going to cut it out.

What shows are good please? ☺️ she likes bluey, bbc programmes like Jo Jo and Gran Gran, but also is a massive Peppa pig, baby shark girl!!!!

My little boy loves a show on BBC called number blocks. There is also alpha blocks and colour blocks.

absolutely, this is my issue! Haha

she does watch these if theyre on live! Maybe I’ll start putting them on iPlayer

Peppa is my daughter's favorite and she doesn't seem to have any issues with it. I do limit TV time though. She also loves Bluey, Kipper, Super Simple Songs, Miffy, Curious George (all on YouTube)

I have a son, and was allowing him to occasionally watch bluey because it’s supposed to be non overstimulating and gender neutral. I have recently cut it out because as i believe it to not be overstimulating, I think they demonstrate a lot of behaviors and games that I’m not down to play or put up with.

I’m so conflicted in what to let her watch. She really does love Peppa but I find her rude and I don’t want her to copy lol. She doesn’t really watch much TV, but when she does I want her to watch shows which aren’t to overwhelming you know!
Thanks so much! Will try some of these xx

that’s fair enough! I half and half agree. But maybe because there are shows she watches and YouTube channels which are way worse lol x

thanks! Will try this defo. Omg bing has been banned in our house forever!!! He is whiny and and moany!! If she sees him advertise on CBeebies though she would want to watch him. But there’s no way lol

We only watch ms Rachel and the wiggles as my baby loves music and dancing. I’ve tried bluey but he’s not interested at all and sometimes will watch bing but again not too interested

I agree with this. I wasn’t keen on it either, I didn’t really like how the dad behaved in it and I just wasn’t a fan overall

There are tons on YouTube kids. My little boy also loves the Kids Picture Show. Especially the planets and vehicles. 🚗

Ms.Rachel, Blippi, number blocks, super simple songs, Bluey, & power rangers. Most cartoons nowadays a filled with crap lol. He liked peppa pig but I noticed negative behavior when he'd watch it so I cut it out

I sadly really need to cut YouTube out 😩 the algorithm has just gone rubbish and it’s the worse type of videos. Bad behaved kids, junk food, stuff about monsters and ghosts. I’ve blocked as much as I can but they always circle back!! (She uses an iPad or a phone) but I will let her watch ms Rachel or people playing with dolls on the tv! So I can control it! She loves watching baby Annabelle’s haha x

In the night garden, moon and me, tik tak are all for younger kids. Very colourful and gently educational.
I also like Eric carle videos on YouTube. Very hungry caterpillar etc and hairy maclary have a series on YouTube which are really cute.
And maisy mouse or postman pat on YouTube. Oh and the whole Julia Donaldson series of short movies are great. Most of these originate from books so you can get them too and they have a cross reference which is nice

We pay for the YouTube subscription so we can download shows. Then put the iPad on aeroplane mode. That way he can only watch the shows we have downloaded and he doesn’t have the option of the other types. Hope that helps.

My son loves miss Rachel and mr tumble and he is learning sign language from watching them and blues clues and paw patrol are another firm favourite he doesn’t really watch tv a lot he watches milkshake first thing in the morning and loves fireman Sam and Thomas tank engine he doesn’t really like peppa thabk god x

My son watches bing but for about 5 mins before he waves goodbye at the tv

5 month old activities

Hey everyone my baby is 5 months old and I want to reduce/cut screen time as I have read up on how bad it is what activities did people do to keep their baby entertained. Thank you in advance.

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide

Weaning

Hello mamas,could I get some advice please with how and what to wean as started this week with my baby but not really what to give and when what time day. Have started with puree vegetables and making them myself and offering it in the evening to my baby but she tends to get irritated and tired and has a few spoonfulls and then gives up and has a meltdown. So I’m questioning myself am I feeding her wrong time of day and what’s best to mix the food with milk or baby rice please.

Baby Food Maker

What’s everyone’s thoughts on a baby food maker? I’m looking to get Baby Breeza or Grownsy. Thoughts? What does everyone like?

Do I need to pay anything when my child starts school in September

I'm a new mum and obviously didn't grow up in the uk. I currently pay roughly £640 for nursery fees. I'm wondering if my expenses will reduce when my LO starts school or there'll be other expenses (besides bags, uniform etc) will my expenses be anywhere close to £600 monthly?

Post partum dad

I have a 2 month old. A few weeks ago my husband crashed out because he didn't feel like he was getting to bond with her. I started exclusively breastfeeding around that time and honestly didnt see the big deal. Baby and I left for a few days and when we got back home, everything was fine. He was extremely hands-on. He helped with my meals, her bedtime, bath, stories.....for a few weeks it was great. Then he randomly sounds depressed af. He says our lo is better off without him, he wants to sleep all day , he asks me not to watch tv then tried playing a video game. He refused to reply to me when i asked any follow-up questions. Then he woke up our baby trying to race me to the bathroom first thing in the morning . He's doing a weird mix of crying, trying, and giving up. Im starting to feel like I cant handle him not being able to handle life with baby and just want to be alone. Are there resources for men?
