feeling guilty letting my baby watch tv. so many tiktoks and social media people saying NO screen time for babies under 2. when i was preg i said NO ipads for baby but after having my first baby ever i’m realizing it’s impossible for my baby to not watch tv. i let her watch The Wiggles and earlier on would put on Sophia The First cuz idk what i’m doing bro i’m a first time mom. i stopped with cartoons though and only let her watch people or animals. so she watched The Wiggles, who sing and dance. no different than when i sing and dance with her. so i feel like its not as bad. but then i come across moms saying how they’d never let their baby watch screens makes me feel like a bad mom. i was told to never compare myself or my baby to other moms or their babies but its easy to do when others shame those who do differently. i don’t plop my baby in front of the screens for hours but i do put it on if i wanna clean the room or do things for myself. otherwise shes clinging onto me and i can’t get things done. i sing to her, dance with her, help her learn to stand on her own, play with her, walk her, feed her and bathe her. but yea i let her watch tv certain times of the day. i guess ill just keep rereading this reddit thread to make me feel better anytime. i feel guilty. they were saying positive things and don’t let other moms shame you for doing what’s best for you and your family.
