Since about 20 months he would literally watch peppa pig all day if I let him. Or Team Umizoomi. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-being-interested-in-tv-shows#post-2555513 Tue, 24 May 2016 13:15:31 +0000 Modern Daisy 2555513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh one thing you can try is baby Einstein videos from YouTube. That was one thing he would actually watch for 5 mins or so at that age! The more dumbed down the better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-being-interested-in-tv-shows#post-2555507 Tue, 24 May 2016 13:12:02 +0000 Modern Daisy 2555507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2.5 year old only recently started watching a full 23 minute show in one sitting. He gets up and starts looking for us during the second one. Gives us barely enough time to shower before work in the morning so I can't wait for his tolerance to grow! Sadly nothing works for us in the car though. He screams from the second he's strapped in until he can get out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-being-interested-in-tv-shows#post-2555504 Tue, 24 May 2016 13:08:43 +0000 Littlebit7 2555504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>on our last flight my 1 year old wanted nothing to do with my iPhone other than to press the home button 70,000 times. That flight was stressful until she fell asleep because I found it harder to A) keep her confined to my seat B) keep her entertained in the seat C) get her to nap<br /> good luck. lots of snacks, new toys (or old standbys), and a big bloody mary when we landed got me through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-being-interested-in-tv-shows#post-2555490 Tue, 24 May 2016 12:51:52 +0000 justjules 2555490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the responses.... I'm a FTM and clearly way overestimated the timeline for this :silly: as much as I don't want a lot of screen time, when I think about the hours on the airplane I wish I could just set him in front of an iPad and distract him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-being-interested-in-tv-shows#post-2555424 Tue, 24 May 2016 11:15:55 +0000 milano14 2555424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 26 month old will only sit for about 5 minutes for a 'show'. However, he loves watching family videos on my phone :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-being-interested-in-tv-shows#post-2555407 Tue, 24 May 2016 10:49:47 +0000 josina 2555407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably closer to 16-17 months. Now at 18 months he'll ask for Mee (Mickey) but still won't sit and watch it for long.<br /> He does love the Peekaboo Kids App on my kindle.. but still probably over a year on that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-being-interested-in-tv-shows#post-2555339 Tue, 24 May 2016 09:42:38 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2555339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried to use videos/iPad as a distraction on a flight when LO1 was 15 months and she was not very interested. The only things that kept her attention more than 30 seconds were a bubble popping game and a coloring app. </p> <p>She started really liking to watch videos around 2 yrs old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-being-interested-in-tv-shows#post-2555271 Tue, 24 May 2016 08:51:41 +0000 snowjewelz 2555271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's prob personality? DD was def interested in TV after a year old. Before that (and now still) she totally loves YouTube. My only saving grace is that she usually isn't very zombie like and she enjoys interacting with the media, pointing things out, singing/dancing along, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-being-interested-in-tv-shows#post-2555260 Tue, 24 May 2016 08:43:52 +0000 jhd 2555260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 8 months LO loved Little Baby Bum videos on YouTube. They are kids songs like Wheels on the Bus, nursery rhymes, etc. Maybe around 13 or 14 months he got a Daniel Tiger DVD for some big travel and loved it. He still enjoys both and he just turned two.</p> <p>ETA It wouldn't hold his attention for extended periods of time, but was a good distraction sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-being-interested-in-tv-shows#post-2555259 Tue, 24 May 2016 08:42:49 +0000 regberadaisy 2555259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unfortunately, I doubt he'll be interested before one. At that age you can keep them entertained with other things. There was just a post about this yesterday.</p> <p>DD2 is 21 months and isn't interested for more than a few minutes. But I feel like Dd1 was at the same age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-being-interested-in-tv-shows#post-2555249 Tue, 24 May 2016 08:30:05 +0000 justjules 2555249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did your LO start watching tv? E is 7mo old and has no interest in looking at the tv for more than 10sec. Usually to figure out where the noise is coming from, haha. </p> <p>Im not planning on a lot of screen time but we have several long flights coming up this summer and I would love to have a show on the iPad be one of the distractions for the many hours on the airplane. He will be 8mo, 9mo and then 12mo on the next 3 long flights. Will he be interested then? </p> <p>How old was your LO? What shows were hits? </p>
