Its not about watching CBeebies, mine watched it too, however not to the extreme Wilby does and not at the age he is. It was more background noise, while they played and I sat on the floor with them, going slightly insane as they pressed the same button on the nursery rhyme book for the 3000th time since breakfast and then set off the farm yard toy and the ball popper. Or it was on while we sat quietly doing lift out puzzles, reading a book or baby had some tummy time, messy play or even singing songs with accompanying actions. He appears to have none of that and he seems enthralled by the TV.
You can see his little hands constantly reaching and flexing, he needs something to do with them to develop his pincer grip. Blocks, puzzles, shape sorters, board books, toys of varying shapes and sizes. He appears to have a few displayed but seems to have none for him to actually use.
Nursey rhymes were my favourite at that age. They’re like little sponges soaking it all in, ‘Row your boat’ while they’re sat on your lap, the giggles, the vocalising their own scream and the baby learning to ‘row’ themselves. Pat-a-cake etc, he’s at a perfect age for all of these things.
