Can someone tell me at what age they are going to let or let their first LO watch tv?

It's longer than that for the regular pill. I would not count on that.

UHHHH can I go back in time to the weekend and stop my husband from doing what he did then?! Please do not say not to count on it. I'm counting on it!! Please, body, reject the sperm.

(I know I'm late to this thread, but....)Oh shit. Really?!? So the instructions on the mini pill packet definitely says 2-3 days of backup method after having a period and I just kinda assumed if I hadn't had one yet I should just start taking it, use a back up method for a few days, and then continue on. My doc didn't say Jack about waiting 2 months! Still haven't had a cycle, but I'm ebf so....

I read the package yesterday too after this discussion and it definitely says 3 days! My guess is everyone is FINE! (self included, bc you can't get pregnant from heavy petting, lol).

V is already kind of watching TV (as in it's on in the background and he'll stare at it sometimes). We have shown him clips of B&W Mickey and 3 Stooges to calm him down sometimes, too. In terms of actually sitting and just watching TV, not sure.

This is basically us. I was more so worried about him watching for a minute here and there when it's on in the background. Not actually putting him in front of the tv yet.

Yup, this is us too. I watch tv on the laptop so once in a while when DB wakes up from a nap he'll sit with me for a couple minutes while I finish an episode of something. I likely won't do that as much in a few months when he's more aware of content, but right now I'll take a few minutes of him happily staring at the colors.

On a tangent: H googled "4 month old" and found a YouTube video where they show babies at this age as they talk about milestones. V LOVED it. He was laughing, chatting back at the babies and getting super excited.

Link?

So cute! I'm sure Oscar would love it too, he loves looking at kids and babies. Love how they're like "don't be afraid to take a break!" Lol as soon as I realized Oscar could entertain himself I was happily checking my email and doing dishes!

Are you all saying you legit turn the tv off when baby is in the room, like you and SO don't even watch your shows "in front of" baby or you would count that as baby watching tv? I mean we totally fail considering we've already sometimes got Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on while Im doing my job applications or whatever else Im trying to get done but thats another story or perhaps FFFC lol...

[bookninja]

This is probably a dumb question that I should already know the answer to... Can little girls get diaper rash in the vagina area? She seems abnormally red up in there. ? First time I've noticed it... What should I do? More air drying? Desitin? Take her to the doctor?

Her actual vagina, or just labia? I would bathe and give lots of air time. If it doesn't start going away I'd go to the doctor. A friends girl ended up having a yeast infection. Babies get wiped a lot though so redness comes and goes. How long has it been?

Noticed it yesterday... But then didn't notice it last night, so I didn't worry about it, but I noticed it again today. It seems to just be the labia. Will diaper cream ( I have desitin and a&d) hurt it or help? I'll take her in if it doesn't get better over the weekend...

We've got a TV watcher here. If I notice he is paying attention to the TV instead of his mobile on the swing, I try to turn something on that won't scar him for life lol. We usually watch the Price is Right, wheel of fortune, and family feud daily...H has this thing for game shows. Today we were gone most of the day but we watched some curious george

Mal is so fascinated by the tv. He talks and talks to it. The other night he wouldn't go back to sleep and I totally put him in his bouncer and he fell asleep talking to the tv.
