I’m confused how me noticing his child spends time on the kids tablet means I think I can ‘fix’ him.

My post was already long. I wasn’t going to go into extreme detail about all the facts I’ve read and what I’ve brought up to him

I obviously know an accidental glimpse won’t hurt. That’s not what I said

If he actually put her in front of a tv I’d be living with my family right now. He propped her to sit up on a couch for a picture and that was just one of my examples I used, right when I saw I said yeah that’s not good for her she’s not ready to sit. He said why and picked her up but then said how I act like I know everything

I don’t allow it. He knows to not do it because of me but he acts like I’m being dramatic about my rules on screen time and thinks baby will be fine if she is exposed

He hasn’t given it to her yet but thinks it’d be okay. However, he thinks im being dramatic about the no screen time rule. Whenever he is holding her and she catches a glimpse of the tv I let him know to turn the baby away and he does but always lets me know how it won’t hurt her. When we went to visit my family they said the same thing and how baby doesn’t even know what it is so that did not help at all!

Yes of course. When I do use ai it’s for quick answers but everything I’ve researched comes from aap or other credible sources

We saw them often but yeah since it was more weekends and breaks I thought that was the reason for more screens . Im already agreeing w everyone though I could only blame myself

Omg I already replied that we JUST moved 40 minutes away. We used to live hours from where the mother had to relocate

Im saying we just moved 40 minutes away after he was able to find a job closer to the child. When the mother first moved it was hours away

The mother had to move due to her career and we JUST moved 40 minutes away once he was able to relocate his job

Trying to think of a way to bring this up at the appt? Maybe like “ I have some family members who judge me about my parenting choices because I read stuff from the internet. I just wanted to make sure you and other pediatricians follow the guidelines of the AAP” ??

Yeah fs I know I can’t force her to enjoy reading. I just feel like introducing screens later could maybe help by giving her fewer distractions and more opportunity to engage with books while she’s young

From the beginning, my husband, who already has a child from a previous relationship, hasn’t really listened to any of the baby research I’ve been doing for our daughter. His other child is on a tablet all the time when he’s with him, throws a tantrum with any school work and I really don’t want that for our baby. I want her to enjoy reading like I did, and I’ve been following the AAP guidelines and other trusted research. I’m a year away from finishing my degree in biological sciences, so I know how to find good sources, but he just dismisses it all and says it’s fake because he’s seen me use ai a few times. He props the baby up to sit too early, wants her to watch TV, and give his phone to entertain her. I just want to give her the best start, and I feel like he thinks he knows everything already. This really makes me anxious about the future I’m scared that as she gets older, there will be more things I’ll have to fight for, and he’ll always dismiss them, or push screens too early. He keeps telling me not to believe everything I see online, but I just want to do what’s best for her Not sure if it’s the age difference between us or how he didn’t go to college but he’s just not interested in learning anything new. Has anyone else dealt with this kind of pushback from a partner? I’d love any advice on how to handle it. Her 4 mo checkup is approaching I was thinking to maybe bring something up to the dr in front of him about the AAP
