More than a third of American babies 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.
