He loves to call around while holding it and loves to chew on it. His face also lights up and he smiles so big when you show him how to look at himself on the camera or when you show him photos and videos of himself. looch on "Do you let your LO play with your phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-play-with-your-phone#post-98754 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 02:32:27 +0000 looch 98754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, but I have it in a protective case, so nothing's going to happen to it. I pick my battles and sometimes it's easier to just let him have it. cupcakemama on "Do you let your LO play with your phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-play-with-your-phone#post-98520 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 17:22:59 +0000 cupcakemama 98520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope. It would go straight into LO's mouth then get dropped on the floor!

They always ate them, slobbered all over them, dropped them etc. Even when they're toddlers or 2, 3, 4 yo they call people.. Definitely not a fan.. but like MrsBells said, it may change once my son is a little older ;) Andrea on "Do you let your LO play with your phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-play-with-your-phone#post-98465 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 16:16:31 +0000 Andrea 98465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I try not to but she gets her hands on it. She called someone once at 6 am. Niiiiiice. She also used Siri yesterday. Haha.

My BIL's daughter throws a tantrum until she gets her Dad's iphone. She watches Barney episodes on it. They usually give in when in a public setting, and I don't blame them!

She also loves remote controls so sometimes I let her play with it...For 5 seconds before she ends up changing the channel!

Guess who's cell phone is no longer working - it's been monstered by a baby monster. heffalump on "Do you let your LO play with your phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-play-with-your-phone#post-98374 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 15:19:38 +0000 heffalump 98374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I try not to let her, just because I don't want to deal with her calling people. I don't get upset if she does grab it though. chopsuey on "Do you let your LO play with your phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-play-with-your-phone#post-98373 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 15:18:47 +0000 chopsuey 98373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrsbells: I was never a fan either! Girlfriend loves my phone and I have a tendency to just leave it lying around on the couch. -.- She usually gets bored of it after a few minutes so I just let her play with it. :P Mrsbells on "Do you let your LO play with your phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-play-with-your-phone#post-98372 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 15:17:36 +0000 Mrsbells 98372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ my baby hasnt arrived yet but am not a big fan of babies playing with cell phones.. of course that may change once i have my own. chopsuey on "Do you let your LO play with your phone?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-play-with-your-phone#post-98368 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 15:16:40 +0000 chopsuey 98368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My LO has figured out how to get in touch with Siri. She's actually called a few of my contacts! Yikes! Luckily I hung up before the phone started ringing.. DH gets mad at me for letting her play and throw my phone around, but eh. :P That's what phone insurance is for.. jk. I really should stop letting her play with my phone, but I keep it locked so it doesn't bother me all that much. (minus the Siri part)
