Hi! So I have a question. My son is almost 3 months old. I'm currently a SAHM so sometimes during the day I watch TV, I've noticed that the baby will look at the screen if he's faced near it. To be clear, I don't neglect him when I watch TV during the day and do plenty of developmental activities with him, but I was wondering if it's detrimental that he looks toward it sometimes. I imagine it's just an interesting colorful thing and that's why he was drawn to it but wanted to see what other people thought!
My girls have always looked in the TVs direction, they don't necessarily watch it tho. My TV is always on because I hate to be in the quiet(and the complete dark) but they only time it really catches their attention I when theme songs play. They dance along to most of them.
Enjoy your time! It’s not like you’re putting shows on for him and sitting him in front of the tv like some people do!
No way. Babies and toddlers are bound to look at the tv if its colorful and moving. Wouldn't worry about it.
I think I read children shouldn’t have screen time until 1.5 2 years old. That being said my daughter will look at the tv sometimes too especially when the tv “sleeps” and the picture screen saver comes up. I think as long as you aren’t sitting them in front of the tv to have them watch for entertainment it’s probably not a huge issue.
Yeah I'm definitely not trying to put things on for him I generally just watch TV and have him face me so I can still play with him and talk to him, I was just getting nervous that maybe having it on would hurt him somehow
@liebleind96, I say enjoy your tv time you’ve earned it! Being a mom is hard 😊
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
I don't think it will hurt anything when they look at it.
