That being said, when she is sick, she can lie on the couch and watch tv all day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-when#post-2483299 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:12:26 +0000 Happygal 2483299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been letting my one year snuggle with me and watch shows on the laptop. There has to be singing and movement to keep her attention. So I think she could zone out for awhile, but there's only so much Sesame Street singing this mom can take! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-when#post-2483173 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 13:30:16 +0000 creativemomma15 2483173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you ladies!!! We've had a netflix marathon going on now this morning. I thought DD was feeling better but nope... More puke. :sad: </p> <p>Here's to more netflix after naptime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-when#post-2482995 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 12:06:13 +0000 coopsmama 2482995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today we're doing allllll the screen time. Thanks vomiting and diarrhea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-when#post-2482976 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 11:54:37 +0000 sorrycharlie 2482976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah we do a lot of screen time even when healthy, so... :)</p> <p>(we do play outside and do crafts and all that jazz, but its usually on in the background) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-when#post-2482972 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 11:53:10 +0000 HLK208 2482972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No limit while sick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-when#post-2482704 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 09:49:39 +0000 Mrs. D 2482704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: ditto </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-when#post-2482701 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 09:48:35 +0000 snowjewelz 2482701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't feel guilty! I always think about my own childhood... I probably watched more TV than we would let our kids today; I don't think it affected me. So esp when LOs are not feeling well, I'd totally let them do what makes them feel better if it's just more TV time! </p> <p>I remember one time I was home with her and I was the super sick one... DD was barely a year old and I let her watch TV for a good hour b/c I could barely keep it together :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-when#post-2482674 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 09:40:29 +0000 yin 2482674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All day. When my kids are really sick, they have no energy to do anything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-when#post-2482624 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 09:26:23 +0000 dagret 2482624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto.. Tv all day, as much popsicles or juice as he wants, I usually toss the coloring book in bed so he can take a break if he wants. I have to say, having a sick toddler is much less work than having a sick baby, even if you have to watch awful cartoons all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-when#post-2482587 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 09:07:59 +0000 lamariniere 2482587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As much as they want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-when#post-2482573 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 08:58:03 +0000 LuLu Mom 2482573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>as much as they want! If it gets my girls to rest and sit still I will let them watch Netflix and click the "yes I'm still watching" button as many times as it needs to be ;) I do shut it off if I think she's fighting sleep to watch, but for me sickness trumps all rules. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-when#post-2482568 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 08:52:46 +0000 Corduroy 2482568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just did two full days of TV for LOs strep throat or HFM. It sucks coming down from that because LO is faking sick to watch TV. But you have a newborn so you have a TV pass for a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-when#post-2482532 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 08:30:53 +0000 lovehoneybee 2482532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@creativemomma15: Oh poor baby, I hope she feels better!!!</p> <p>As for screen time, as much as he wants. E has a bad cold, and I think an ear infection is coming on, and last night I let him have a dinner picnic on the living room floor so he could keep watching Chuggington. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-when#post-2482528 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 08:29:26 +0000 travellingbee 2482528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS had the flu 2 weeks ago and I had a newborn to keep him away from too. He watched TV all day. Breaking that habit and going back to reality has been a bit hard but what can ya do? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-when#post-2482518 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 08:25:06 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2482518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All day. If she's feeling up to it, we may take a break and color or do a puzzle. Or I will trade the tv for a game on the iPad. But I dont worry about it at all especially if you need to keep her away from the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-when#post-2482516 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 08:23:04 +0000 erinbaderin 2482516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Literally, it's been nonstop all week. My poor mom, who is staying at our house and babysitting my sick 2 year old, has watched Peppa Pig 12 hours a day for 3 days straight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-when#post-2482515 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 08:20:57 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2482515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@creativemomma15: All the screen time and all the popsicles when she's sick. My 2 year old had the flu last week and powered through an entire season of My Little Ponies in one day. No shame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-when#post-2482512 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 08:18:02 +0000 creativemomma15 2482512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: Great answer!!! I was feeling some mom guilt already but it's been a long morning already and it's not even 8:30! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-when#post-2482504 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 08:16:13 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2482504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-is-too-much-when#post-2482503 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 08:15:37 +0000 creativemomma15 2482503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...your kids are sick?</p> <p>DD1 was up last night throwing up and just wants to watch shows... I'm pretty sure she would watch endless shows today and frankly I want her to stay away from DD2 since she isn't even 2 weeks old yet and that might be a good way to keep her away from the baby. </p> <p>How much screen time do you let your kids have when they are sick??? </p>
