How much screen time per day?

We have between 1-3hrs a day, depending on how tired I am 😅 she only watches in the mornings on the TV, she doesn't have a tablet or anything. And usually I'm not doing anything either tbh, she likes to be involved in chores and cooking.
On a normal day I allow morning for an hour and then evening he watches when he’s eating tea and then after a bath. X
I try to have about 3 or 4 completely screen free days, and then the other days it’s about 30 minutes. But I expect that may increase when I have my second baby! And some days it’s longer like if I’m not feeling well or he’s not feeling well.
No screen time yet.. but she will watch 10-15mins of my tv show which I keep pg coz she’s quite the curious George.
We have ours on most of the day but It’s just background noise. She doesn’t even watch it, unless bluey is on 😂 We didn’t want to make the Tv this forbidden thing, that should be hoarded. But everyone parents differently, we have also converted our dinning room into her playroom so no tv in there when we are doing activities and using our imagination.
No tablet, but tv is on in the background all day, not usually kids programmes more the news etc. she has the same 6 films on rotation and they could be on once a day or 10 times a day but she only usually watches them when she’s tired or poorly and usually about 30 mins in she’s bored… she prefers asking Alexa for songs 😂 xx
Varies massively. Most days about 20 mins, usually on my phone while i shower etc. some days none, others we will watch a film on the tv together etc. if she’s poorly, or I’m particularly frazzled she will get more tv time x
No tablet, but tv is on most of the time
I use it for nappy changes. My son has eczema and I have to moisturise regularly through the day, so I tend to use it to get him to stand still for nappy change and moisturiser and any other bits I need yo do before end of whatever he's watching. I try to set a limit of no more than 3 short episodes or 2 long ones in a row. I suspect it easily adds up to about an hour throughout the day. Basically using it to get something important done without us all ending up in tears!
