Kids tablet

Has anyone got a kids tablet for their LO? I’m thinking of getting one for my son but it has to have YouTube on it. I was looking at the kids Amazon fire but it says it doesn’t have YouTube. We will only use it now and again as I’m trying to get him away from screens. Thanks ☺️

I’ve got Amazon fires and they don’t have YouTube as an app but they call it web videos. Not as user friendly as YouTube kids and it just seems to play the same videos x

We have the kids honor tablet. Has parental restrictions and also has YouTube and you can download any app you like. We downloaded netflix on it when we went on holiday and Disney +. Battery life also very good and it doesn't break the bank

A genuine comment here but if you want to get him away from screens why aren’t you getting him a present that will encourage him to be off screens? Also a bit unfair to him to get him a gift that you will have to restrict him from. X

Didn’t get my son one, my friend did get her son one and now and it’s impossible to take it off him. No judgment mama but if you want to decrease screen time stay away from tablets as he’ll likely want more screen time x

I personally wouldn’t buy one if you’re trying to get him away from screens but that’s just me🤷🏼‍♀️
My son doesn’t have one, my sister keeps asking me if I’m getting him one (she has iPad teens😂), I have no interest right now or in the near future in getting him one but again that’s just me!

We haven’t brought our son a tablet but I have an iPad which he is occasionally allowed to play game/watch things on but I monitor what he uses and how long he is on it, we generally only allow him to go on it when we have a long journey and want him to stay awake as he will fall asleep playing with toys and eating or when we are out somewhere he can’t really run around as there is only so many toys/ activities I can take with us and he has a very short attention span😂 x

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

Am I wrong?

I’ve been wanting to add more garden beds to my garden. Husband says “hey do you want to go to Home Depot to get that wood for the garden beds.” Cool I’m excited I’ve been wanting to get this done for awhile.

We get there and we’re picking out wood and I make 2 comments about how I don’t like how 2 pieces of wood look that he picked out. And he says if you’re going to be this picky then u can do this yourself.

I literally made 2 comments and mind you I’m the one paying for the wood.

I felt dismissed and like my opinion didn’t matter and if I wanted to have an opinion then I need to do it myself. Like what?

It was rude and not okay. Am I wrong? Am I overreacting?

He thinks it was fine that he said that.

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism
