No judgements here pls!
I have a gorgeous DS aged 1 year old. Extremely lively, and we do A LOT (playground once a day, playdate 2x a week, gymboree 1x a week and MiniMozart 1x a week and every other week we go to LittleGym (at £19 a session, too expensive to do every week!). He LOVES these activities and actually, so do I.
When we arrive home after an afternoon's activities, I tend to be desperate for a cup of tea and a sit down. So what do I do? DS in playpen in lounge and turn CBeebies on. He loves it, and gives me 15 mins to relax with my tea and computer. I keep it then on whilst preparing his dinner. So 30 mins in total. The TV is off for his main course and then I switch back on for his dessert whilst I tidy up the devastation, so an additional 10 mins.
So my 1 year old is having approx 40 mins of TV a day. Sometimes less, sometimes a little more (up to an hour in total)
What do people think and what do others do? I don't think I have a problem with it, as for the rest of the day we are doing so much, communicating and interacting with each other, active etc. Combined with an avalanche of kisses and cuddles. However, it does sometimes niggle that maybe I am doing something wrong.

Honestly, how much TV does your 1 year old (or around) watch?
