Preterm baby handling
Hello doctor, I am Sharmila mother of Pravish KR baby who is 1 month 22 days old and preterm baby. Today i visited your clinic very first time. I am having a doubt about internet usage in mobile near my baby. My relatives make video calls daily to see him through phone. I am afraid of internet use near baby because the radiation may affect him.
Please clear this doubt and give me a suggestion.

As such radiation is not good, better to allow video calling after 6 months of age. No screen time for babies less than 2 years
