[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, Mama. I know lots of people are using screens more now than they ever expected to. Let us help you problem solve how to get the baby on the floor, no screen. What are your barriers?[/quote]

OMG could you be any more smug and insufferable? [/quote]

I was trying not to jump down the OP’s throat. When I was a new mom, I hated when people gave me advice that I knew, but couldn’t execute. I was going for approachable and understanding. Sorry that it didn’t come off that way. I still think it was a better response than:

omg! get that baby off screens NOOOOW!!!! etc.

OP probably knows that her kid shouldn’t be watching screens. There’s a barrier. A knowledge barrier. A time barrier. Something. Why not be solution-oriented? [/quote]

I was the first person who responded to you. Based on your follow-up, you're probably not as horrible a person as you sounded initially.

But you're still judgmental about "screens." There's no evidence or reason to believe that it matters one way or the other (and don't waste your time Googling nonsense or correlative studies).

The suggestion that OP apparently needed is that it's OK to use a pack-n-play or Playyard for a little bit of peace from constantly supervising a crawling baby. I'm actually surprised by the number of responses to that, and the lack of judgmental opposition. I feel like 10 years ago when we were in this stage, those were dirty words:  Pack-n-Play was to be nothing more than a portable crib.

Don't call anyone Mama or Dad who aren't your parents. Even if you're the pediatrician -- that's the worst. [/quote]
