Patient's question:
1、My daughter is now 5 and a half months old. May I ask if it's okay for her to watch TV cartoons?2、Since birth, the child has received vaccinations, mostly in the right arm (only the BCG vaccine was given in the left arm at birth). May I ask if it's good to frequently inject the right arm? Is there any impact?
Doctor's answer:
Certainly not. An infant's eyes have not yet fully developed, and their vision is relatively poor. Standard televisions are very flashy, which can significantly hinder the development of an infant's vision. It is not advisable to let children watch colorful and noisy content freely, as this can have adverse effects on their future.Around one and a half to two months after birth, infants show a strong reaction to the TV. By the age of 11 months, children can already understand and recognize certain scenes on TV. Once placed in front of the television, they become very quiet and stare at it intently. If you allow them to do this all day, it will be disastrous. The infant's head will start to react to mechanical sounds and fail to respond to their mother's voice.
Some mothers might think, "Why not just let the child listen to the TV?" However, TV produces mechanical sounds, while humans produce organic sounds—these are fundamentally different. If an infant's brain adapts to mechanical sounds, they may lose all response to their mother's organic voice. This is a major contributing factor to autism.
