Thanks for understanding not wanting to use screen-time. This really isn’t a must-need screen time situation. I’m not completely rigid, I would allow it towards the end of a long drive/flight/etc and other situations. Our family has slight learning attentive issues , so limited/no screens is best for us.

There are other SAHMs here, but many have multiple kids/engagements. I’ve reached out and I’m one of few moms with just 1 child. I’ll keep searching daycares and help on the care website. Thanks everyone [/quote]

OP, I'm not a SAHM but I have had similar issues when I'm on maternity leave -- [b]I can't exactly bring a 9-month-old to sit in the dentist's office while I get a filling done!  [/b]Do you have a coparent who can take time off work occasionally?  If not, I would suggest posting on a neighbour listserve asking if anyone has any leads on babysitters.  I have some friends with a nanny who works slightly odd hours and is sometimes available for babysitting before she starts her main job, for example.[/quote]

I'm the pp at 11:21.
I'm actually surprised at the number of people saying they just brought their kid with them in the stroller with an I-pad!   There's no way my doctors/dentists/etc. would have allowed that!
