Managing screen time - Dutch Lady Smart Moments

Breast milk is best for your baby

Breastfeeding is the best nutrition for healthy growth and development of babies. Exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months is the optimal way of feeding infants. Thereafter infants should receive complementary foods with continued breastfeeding up to two years or beyond. Good maternal nutrition helps sustain an adequate supply and quality of breast milk. Unnecessary introduction of bottle feeding, partially or fully, or of other complementary foods and drinks may have a negative impact on breastfeeding, which may be irreversible. Consult your doctor and consider the social and financial implications before deciding to use breast milk substitutes or if you have difficulty breastfeeding. Follow usage, preparation and storage instructions of breast milk substitutes or of other complementary foods and drinks carefully as improper or unnecessary use may pose a health hazard.

Managing screen time

Managing screen time

Children no longer have to be in the living room to watch their television shows. With phones and tablets being so readily available, it’s easier than ever for a child to satiate his screen appetite anywhere.

If you’re looking to curb the amount of time your 6-year-old child spends watching shows, here are a few quick pointers to help:

Make sure he asks for permission before switching on the TV or device
This will let you know what and when he’s watching.

Watch shows together: Find out what he likes and watch it with him. It can serve as invaluable bonding time. Plus, if you know what he likes about a particular show, you can try to recreate that experience with him without the TV.

Parental controls: Familiarise yourself with parental controls and use them, especially if your child is allowed to watch shows unsupervised.

Record the shows: Consider recording the shows for viewing at another time, for example over the weekend. This way, he will still have time on weekday nights for homework and the family.
