[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None. We don’t need the childcare and my son is only 4. [/quote] Same. None. Kids are four and two. [/quote] Your kids are about the same age apart as mine (I posted upthread that I use screens maybe 2-3 times per week for 20-30 mins if I can’t get my baby down and the almost 2 year old isn’t settling with any books or puzzles). Did you regularly have that situation and if so, how did you handle it? It’s only an issue on some nights when I do bedtime alone, although I can’t even remember the last time she saw a screen so maybe it’s not as bad as I think). I don’t think I’m damaging her but am always up for learning new tips and tricks![/quote] When our second was born, DH took over the older kid’s shower and books while I bathed then nursed the baby. I couldn’t do it alone back then. If DH was traveling, my mom came over or our nanny stayed late. Since about 3 and 1, I could do it alone by bathing them together, dress and do lotion together, and then have the older sit at my feet reading when I nursed the little one “quiet as a butterfly”. Then my older gets my full attention and books, cuddles, songs. [/quote]
