Source: News Limited A new study has revealed the extent to which babies are using digital devices. More than a third of babies in the US are tapping on smartphones and tablets even before they’re walking or talking, according to a new study. And by their first birthday, one in seven infants is using devices for at least an hour a day. The results of the First Exposure and Use of Mobile Media in Young Children survey was presented to the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in San Diego on the weekend. The American Academy of Pediatrics discourages the use of entertainment media such as televisions, computers, smartphones and tablets by children under two-years-old. Parents of children aged six months to four-years-old who attended a hospital-based paediatric clinic serving a low-income, minority community were asked to fill out the survey.
