To let my 15mo watch tv?

[Coolcoolcool]

Shamelessly posting for traffic but I have covid and I need to look after my 15mo DS this week. I feel like shit. What tv programmes are your 1 year olds into to help me get through it?! Hoping that he will actually watch something for more than 5 mins…
yeah I know too much screen time is bad blah blah I’ll cross that bridge when I need to I just need some help getting through the next few days!

A bit of TV won't hurt them. We use it when we have to get things done. My 2 year old likes super simple songs on YouTube, the wiggles and bluey.

@Coolcoolcool and get better soon!

Good luck - mine is 20 months old and not interested at all! Had been hoping he would watch 10 mins here or there.. we have an 8 hr flight in October and I'm dreading it as he's on the go the WHOLE time 🥴 Hope you feel better soon.

Cocomelon, in the night garden and little baby bum were winners for me when I was sick

eek @jalu47 thats what I’m worried about. At his age his big sister coped on a long flight with the wiggles and coco melon but he’s just not interested in the singing ones it seems.

will try some bluey and in the night garden!

@Coolcoolcool thought maybe it was a boy thing but the other little ones I know are all watching a bit here or there. We've tried octonauts and in the night garden but he'd rather play with this cars and balls. I shouldn't be complaining as sure he'll be addicted by age 3 but it's soooo tiring that he will not sit still for a moment.

The o ly thing my daughter liked at that age was hey Duggee

My DD doesn’t watch cartoons at all, listens to the theme tune, dances and then walks off! She does however love Ms Rachel. She’s on YouTube and I think she’d watch her all day long if I let her!

Hey Dougie and Peppa Pig always go down well with my granddaughter.

adding hey duggee and Mrs Rachel to the list.

sidenote: wtf has happened to the wiggles. Bring back Emma!

@SGChome20 omg i just watched about 3 seconds of Ms Rachel and I think I might kill myself 😆
I am desperate though so if it works…it works!

Mine is 22 months and is it obsessed with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, don’t feel bad about letting them watch TV, personally I feel like if you let them watch it, it takes the power and temptation out of it down the line (mines been watching it for a couple of months and never demands it or anything) I know that’s an unpopular opinion though

Peppa pig brought my two year old up. i had really awful twin pregnancy and was sick as a dog He knew the bing bong song word for word!! 😂 He's now a very well behaved and polite young man so didn't do him any harm!!

Cbeebies- quite enjoyable, new show every 10mins, educational and diverse!

Bluey!

It will entertain you as well.

Gigglebellies on YouTube

At that age Rainbow Horse.

We use videos on YouTube -
super simple songs
the bumblenums
blippi
cozy coupe

hogi.

the screen time police really piss me off - a little bit of tv here and there is literally the only thing that will keep my little boy still

Excellent suggestions - thank you!
