Gonna have to cut it down to 5 mins a day tops. On average she gets maybe 30 mins a day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-screen-time-does-your-lo-get-each-week#post-389311 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 14:25:39 +0000 sarac 389311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HeatherlovesKenny: If my child got up at 5 I would let her watch sesame street while eating fruit loops if it made her happy. 5 am awake baby is about survival, imho. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-screen-time-does-your-lo-get-each-week#post-389304 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 14:19:24 +0000 Bao 389304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is only 10 weeks but baby einstein calms her, bad habit I know. Not really sure how many hours a week... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-screen-time-does-your-lo-get-each-week#post-389175 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 13:29:36 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 389175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe 3 hours a week? Some days he doesn't watch any, and other days, he might watch 2 shows if mommy and daddy are being lazy ;) his current favorites are chugging ton and Daniel tiger's neighborhood. The latter is super cute and a spin off mister Rogers' neighborhood. It has very applicable lessons, so I don't mind CB watching! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-screen-time-does-your-lo-get-each-week#post-389172 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 13:28:27 +0000 meredithNYC 389172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't let her watch children's programming, but since we're both home all day there's no way she's not going to be in the room ever when the TV is on. That's just not realistic for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-screen-time-does-your-lo-get-each-week#post-389143 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 13:18:58 +0000 T-Mom 389143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD gets two 30 min shows a day, 1 AM, 1 PM. This has been reduced from a few weeks ago and we are working to reduce down to 1 show a day. She is 4. I struggle to find things to occupy her in the AM while I am getting ready. I would let her play in her room upstairs, but I need her to "babysit" the 1 yr old as well. The baby will watch if it's on but not intently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-screen-time-does-your-lo-get-each-week#post-388596 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 10:01:00 +0000 mediagirl 388596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None at this point. She's only 5 months, though. She tries to see what's on if we have the TV on when she's done with a meal but, it's not often that the TV is on when she's in the room these days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-screen-time-does-your-lo-get-each-week#post-388593 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:59:55 +0000 Andrea 388593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She usually gets to watch one 20 min cartoon per day. She is 2.5 y.o. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-screen-time-does-your-lo-get-each-week#post-388592 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:59:28 +0000 Lozza 388592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe 20 minutes of real devoted screen time? I'll throw Peekaboo Barn or a Sesame Street video at him if I'm trying to clip his toenails, or if there's some other reason he's freaking out and I need him to sit still.<br /> Then when he's at my parents' house, they often have golf or the weather or something (that I find) equally boring on the TV in the background, but he barely notices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-screen-time-does-your-lo-get-each-week#post-388486 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:17:30 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 388486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe 15-30 minutes? I admit to using screen time as a reward, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-screen-time-does-your-lo-get-each-week#post-388451 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 08:59:34 +0000 prettylizy 388451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She still hasn't watched TV yet, I have pulled up a sesame street video on my Ipad for her and she liked it a lot. So we'll play that song for her from time to time. I'm really hoping she won't watch TV until she turns 2 at least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-screen-time-does-your-lo-get-each-week#post-388433 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 08:52:49 +0000 sarac 388433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None for her. I usually put on the evening news, and sometimes the morning news. She doesn't really watch it. If one of us is sick then I might put on sesame street for her once in a blue moon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-screen-time-does-your-lo-get-each-week#post-388306 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 06:56:25 +0000 heffalump 388306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zero. She's 15 months old and has no interest in tv yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-screen-time-does-your-lo-get-each-week#post-388250 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 01:47:45 +0000 HLK208 388250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Too much. When he wakes up at 5am, I let him watch tv until I get up at 6...so one hour per day? Ugh. We really should limit it. I would prefer to have a movie night once a week. He's 3.5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-screen-time-does-your-lo-get-each-week#post-388239 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 01:29:49 +0000 808love 388239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Total..probably 6 hours....we have a really active schedule though so I feel like it balances out. Originally I was going for no tv under two so I'm surprised how far I swung to the other side of the continuum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-screen-time-does-your-lo-get-each-week#post-386874 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:41:42 +0000 banana 386874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son gets around 2 hours a week. We let him watch one episode of Mickey while I prepare dinner. Sometimes if he's sick, we'll let him watch more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-screen-time-does-your-lo-get-each-week#post-386867 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:37:49 +0000 Mrs. Bee 386867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie gets about an hour, usually when we're tired on the weekends and need a break. It ensures he'll sit there quietly for the duration of an episode. We're also been letting him play educational games for 30 min or so each week.</p> <p>He's almost 3.</p> <p>What about your LO? </p>
