non overstimulating tv shows

so my 14 month old hasn’t been feeling well (teething) and i’ve been very low energy myself. we don’t usually watch tv, but i was wondering what are some recommendations for this age? she’ll still hardly watch tv, but i just need a little something to put on for her until lunch. we usually just turn on ms rachel.. but i want something calmer lol.

We try to encourage Bluey in our house. As far as tv goes it's not that bad. There is even research out of Australia that suggests it might help kids learn emotional regulation. You can find all the episodes on YouTube I believe.

Generally older tv shows especially hand drawn cartoons are slower moving and less stimulating

Puffin rock on Netflix

thank you guys! whenever we do watch tv it’s ms rachel, little bear, or max and ruby. she loves those three and i’m happy to know i’m choosing the right shows for her little screen time right now

Magic school bus, Bluey, Mickey Mouse club.

We do Curious George, Bluey, and any old classic Disney movies (Brother Bear, Sword in the Stone, etc)

Curious George, If you give a Mouse a Cookie, Max & Ruby, most 90s toddler shows.

We do number blocks. My 2 year old can now count to 100. They are short too! Plus some bbc orchestra stories

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.

Thoughts?

your soon to be brother in law (upon inquiry) told you that only a few kids from the family were attending his wedding because they are over the age cut off..

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

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

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?

Struggling

My husband works and does so much for me and my baby girl. However I get annoyed every time he hops on a video game he usually plays for 1-2 hrs if she's still awake and has like 3+hrs of free time once she goes to sleep (i co/contact sleep). The last time I was able to have actual free time was last month when I tried to turn some onesies into shirts for baby girl to sleep in- and I wasn't able to finish them and haven't picked them up since lol. The only free time I get is while she's napping right next to me where I can't move an inch or breathe too deeply or she'll wake up, or when I shower. Crafting used to be my outlet and now if I were ever to tell him that I need to craft I don't even know what I would do or where to start I just sit there and stare.... just losing myself and I'm struggling with it. Does anyone else feel the same way? What do I do?
