Screen time for toddler

[freklefacexo]

Looking for some opinions just out of curiosity. I have a 21 month old DD . I’m very aware of the concerns about too much screen time. How much is too much? DH works long hours , I’m alone with her a lot and obviously need to cook and clean and other things around the house so I find myself putting tv on for her during those times. But then I worry is it too much? Is it damaging to her? She really likes cocomelon, but I see a lot of negative comments about that show in particular. Just wanted to see what others think ? Any better alternatives ?

Cocomelon isn't great, it's very fast paced and overstimulating which is why it keeps kids hooked. Same as Hey Bear, little baby bum etc.

If you're putting on the tv choose something slower and less full on. We loved Giant jack, Puffin Rock and Bluey.

CBeebies would be my choice, no ads and good quality programming. Worth the licence fee for that alone in my opinion!
