The real reply from the in-app AI advisor
At Maiyko, we generally don't recommend baby play apps. The AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) recommendation regarding screen time for 0-2 year-olds is: for babies under 18 months, screen time should be zero except for video calling. Between 18-24 months, only high-quality programs should be watched alongside a parent.
At this age, your baby's most valuable learning tool isn't a screen, but the real world — faces, sounds, textures, movement, and interaction with you. The bright colors and fast transitions of play apps overstimulate your baby's attention system in unnatural ways; the focus your baby shows with physical toys gets lost on a screen.
Instead, try age-appropriate physical activities: peek-a-boo, stacking soft blocks, textured books, safe kitchen containers, water and sand exploration. When you think of baby play, picture these tactile and social experiences, not an app.
