Baby video calling? My mother-in-law says one thing, I'm reading something different.

It must be confusing hearing different things about when your baby should meet screens. There is clear guidance on this: the World Health Organization and AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) don't recommend any screen time for babies under 18 months except for video calls.
Video calls are treated differently because they're actually social interaction for your baby — not just passive screen time. Even so, for a baby under 18 months, video calls should be brief (5-10 minutes) and with an adult beside them. Your baby may not yet realize the person on screen is actually "there," so you're the bridge making conversation flow.
I'm curious what your mother-in-law is saying.
