Low-stimulating tv shows

Could anyone recommend shows on Netflix and Disney+ that are not overstimulating? My mum is about to start looking after my toddler so I wanted to give her a list of things that are better to watch rather than her just going for the brightest thing that stands out on Netflix/ Disney+. We don’t watch much kids TV b...

Allowance/Greenlight card

I have a 7 and 8 year old and want to start teaching them more about money (investing/saving.) I feel like it’s good to start young. Have any of you mamas used Greenlight with your kids? Are these ages too young? We’ve used cash for allowance in the past but it’s messy 😅 and we are going on a week long vacation…

Has anyone brought their toddler to a dodgers or any other baseball game? Toddler in question is 21 months old.

Just curious is anyone else has done this. We have really good seats and want to experience this with her for our own memories and both agreed we are fine taking her on walking breaks as needed but wanted others opinions. Also, she’s free under 3 right? LOL

Books or gadgets for writing/letter recognition?

Does anyone have any recommendations for reading/writing materials suitable for a 3 year old? Ones that are engaging. I’ve tried getting him to join dots together but gets bored after 5 mins!

Have you traveled without baby yet?

My husband has a work trip coming up and wants me to go along. It’s 3 days, 2 nights, but baby can’t go. I’m exclusively breastfeeding, although baby can take a bottle and I have enough milk stored up to last him. I would obviously pump while away, but I’m still concerned being away from him would affect my supply...

6 months baby entertainment

Hi, What is everyone doing to entertain their 6 month, other than taking them out. I feel like my 6 month is easily getting bored now and I am trying very hard to avoid putting sensory cartoon on. He has his playmat that he's on and passes some time with his toys but then he easily gets bored. Thanks x

MY 6 MONTH NOT INTERESTED IN CARTOONS. DOES NOT ENJOY SCREEN TIME!

So I’ve never really had my lo watching cartoons I rather him explore in different ways to learn, but I’ve noticed that twice I have put some Bluey (cartoons) on and he would watch for max 1 min and then loose interest , Is he still young or are some kids just not interested in tv ? How’s your baby with screen time?
