Babies and toddlers should not be left to passively watch TV or other screens, according to new World Health Organization guidelines.
It is the first time the WHO has made recommendations on physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep for children under five and recommendations include:
- 14-17 hours' sleep a day, including naps, for newborns - reducing to 12-16 by four to 11 months
- Being physically active several times a day, including at least 30 minutes' "tummy time" - lying on their front
