Tv time

It can affect her socially. She may not interact appropriately (smile etc to human interaction) or delays with this.

Otherwise if she’s not close etc she should be fine. Lights and sound stimulates senses so that’s good, but ideally you’d do this with singing and ceiling lights instead x

i can’t speak on behalf of my own baby as she’s only 7 weeks but my best friends daughter who is 16 months now, she watched programmes like ms rachel from when she was little. she came on in leaps and bounds and was hitting social milestones ahead of time as she was learning through ms rachel! she now watches bluey etc and can be a bit of a cheeky girl, maybe from the characters or could just be age. but i think some educational programmes can be really good for a little ones development and gives you some free time! i wouldn’t worry too much, i think the main issue with screen time is other people’s judgement. do what works best for you x

My boy is 7 weeks and we swore no TV time at all, we had done it with my 11 year old and he now uses the iPad, the phone and TV at the same time. So I put baby in the carrier and get on with my duties, sometimes wrap him on my back, or place him on the playmat, tie a string to his toe and the hanging toys so when he moves they move and that seems to keep him entertained for a little.

I do it too, sometimes it helps when things get stressful or baby won’t settle, it’s understandable - my mum did it with me and I’m extremely sociable and always have been x
