“These studies are more evidence that it’s a good idea to avoid lots of screen time in infancy (birth to 18 months)”

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently added misleading claims to its autism webpage.

From American Academy of Pediatrics

Acetaminophen is an over-the-counter medicine used to reduce fevers and relieve pain. It is sold under many brand names, including Tylenol.

Decades of research have found that acetaminophen is safe for children when administered as recommended. Misleading claims link the medicine to autism. These false claims send a confusing, dangerous message to parents and expectant parents and does a disservice to autistic individuals. Read more at the link below.

In the United States, ibuprofen is not recommended for infants under six months old due to potential risks to their developing kidneys and digestive systems. For fever and pain relief in infants under six months, acetaminophen is the standard over-the-counter medication recommended by pediatricians.
