4 hours a day? That’s a crazy amount of time. Interact with your damn kids.
“They noted that the babies exposed to more screen time were children of younger first-time mothers who had lower household incomes, lower maternal education levels, and suffered from postpartum depression.”
It’s not as simple as “interact with your kids”.

This is often a problem of getting just a baby because of the lifestyle attention. Here in Germany it’s not uncommon that parents give their kid in daycare with the age of three because they can claim for a place. It’s all about outsourcing responsibilities for “metime” and career. 4 hours screentime is just another symptom.
