T gets 3-4 shows a day lately. Mostly when I need to get the baby down for a nap. Otherwise, he barges in and is loud and disruptive. AKA he's figured out a good way to get more TV in his life!
When your second child was a baby how much screen time did the older get?

No regular shows til 2 but she went to daycare a few days a week. It would have been different if I was a SAHM or if I had both kids FT during my maternity leave. LO 2 also slept more than LO 1 ever did as a baby during the day so I had lots of time with my toddler.

A lot.
She's definitely watched frozen twice in a day before.
It's gotten much better lately. I'm trying to curb it to only one show a day and probably do that four out of five days.

Baby isn't even here yet and she gets more screen time than I ever planned on, but momma is tired at nights, and it's the only thing that gets her to calm down and unwind. Sigh, and honestly I'm okay with it.

A lot right now and since I was about 37 weeks pregnant. I just get so tired and its so hard to get things done. My husband was having a lot of stress at work so he wasn't really able to handle taking over much although he is getting better again now. I feel bad but he usually gets some daniel tiger right before bed or he won't sleep. A bad habit but it works so well I plan to keep it until our new baby is easier and I can get back into bedtime stories.

as much as I needed to get through the day 
At 7 weeks, it's getting to be less... I think she's bored of it

An hour in the morning and an hour after dinner. The morning one is good, but the evening one will go away when it's warmer out and we spend the evenings outside. Then it'll probably come back when the baby comes. But 2 hours a day already feels like way too much for me.

She just got one show a day while I put the baby to bed, but she was in preschool until 3 pm every day!

A lot. I still do it because he is so loud otherwise. He typically gets four and has to play after but I'm pregnant now and needing to nap too now when the baby naps so its been upped a bit. We have been sick too so that's played into it too

Too much! But I never let it stress me (it's better now that DD is just under 8 months) because it was either that or the baby didn't get nursed or sleep and those things clearly trump screen time. I just figured it was a season, and sure enough, some days these days the TV doesn't even get turned on.
