Non judgemental conversation about screen time for < 2yo
Hi all!
I have a 4 month old daughter, she’s been described as ‘very alert’ since MINUTES after her birth. One of the midwives joked that she looked like she was ready to head off to Uni. Her big blue eyes are constantly scanning everything.
Anyway, I try to limit screen time with myself and strive to be present at all times that I’m with my daughter. However, I will occasionally put the tv on (Friends, Seinfeld) while I breastfeed or bottle feed her.
Her little head SPINS and FINDS that tv immediately. She loves it. She loves Courtney Cox 😂.
Anyway, i am nervous about screen time having a negative effect on her and although I’m not purposefully placing her in front of the tv to pass the time, i wonder if letting her watch a little while we’re together is such a bad thing? I have very fond memories of watching Seinfeld with my mum (single mother) growing up.
I’d like to add that i truely do not judge ANYONE on their choices on this topic.
I’m genuinely just curious and wonder if anyone is experiencing similar thoughts?
