Ok I’m sure I have a phone addiction. The first few months I was actually really good about being off my phone but recently I am constantly on it or feel like I am. I average 8hrs a day and 5 on social media. How can I do better about it this? I just want to spend time with my baby and not let her see me just on my phone while I am with her. as a sahm i also have zero interaction with others so I feel like I fall into social media a lot. Again I know this is wrong and I want to fix it.

You aren’t the only one. Im averaging 6hrs right now and its hard. I’ll even use a blanket over my knees so baby cant see im on phone but its still a bad habit. I’ve never been one to just sit in silence, always been a multitasker and my brain goes a million miles a second. It’s hard to just be present. And it’s not like I can get up and do stuff either because baby won’t let me. And I don’t want to put the tv on because it’s worse than the phone I feel.

Get an app like stay focused, add the apps to lock you out of our limit you then have someone else password protect. I've stopped reddit and video shorts that way.

I got the app Brainrot
It forces you to be mindful of your media usage. You can create time blocks that you “aren’t allowed” to use your phone. It had really helped me.

My husband and I are very competitive lol so we both put the Screen Time widget on our main screens and see who can use our phones the least. We change what the winner gets depending on what’s happening during the day, like loser has to make dinner or whatever or on the weeks where he’s not home I will make a goal and if I can stay under it, I’ll get myself something on Amazon or from target or something
