How much tv do you let your 1 yr old baby watch?

[pumpkinsboo]

Throughout the whole day how much tv do you think your baby has roughly watched?

I use the tv normally when I'm either getting ready on a morning, or cooking in the kitchen and a bit before bed.

I feel pretty run down today I have a migraine etc do you think it would be bad having a "movie-tv" day with him? I'm just exhausted, I worked a night shift Wednesday and I was straight to play group with him on the morning because I had no sitter and his dad had to go to work so from a 12 hour night shift I was on baby duty until his bedtime; and he had a rubbish night sleep. I wouldn't usually stick the tv on all day. Do you think the amount I use it could be bad for him?

To me, its however much is needed to get through the day!

Some days its a tv day, and thats ok. When you feel better it will be balanced with a park walk and playground day.

As long as its not all day every day, they will be fine! Grab the quilt and feel better!

I was ill last week and my just turned 2yo had cbeebies on all day, I dumped a load of random toys on the floor and she played, I played from the sofa, she watched TV, she played.....I need to rest so I did. You can't pour from an empty cup.

I've got an older child who was a toddler in the lockdowns. I can't even think about how much TV she watched at one point.

Some days more than others. Mostly we're out and about but if we're in in the morning for instance the TV will be on in the background and she'll watch it then play, then go in the garden, then watch it while having a snack.
