A new study says that continuous texting by mothers or caregivers can be detrimental to a baby's emotional health.
The connections that are made before a baby turns five years of age are the ones that lay the foundation for a healthy and well-balanced individual.
Studies say that to raise a healthy, intelligent toddler parents need to interact more with babies and indulge in more gestures such as a touch or a hug to make them feel secure.
Unresponsive parents who are constantly on their cellphones may be only passively engaging with their baby and may be inadvertently telling the baby's brain that they don't need that active responses, say researchers.
