Should I avoid all screens near my newborn?
The AAP recommends no screen time for children under 18 months, except for video calls with family. Newborns benefit most from face-to-face interaction, which supports brain development far more effectively than any screen content. Keep TVs off during feeding and bonding time. Discuss your family's media plan with your pediatrician.
