Warnings About Babies’ Exposure to Cell Phones and WiFi Radiation Aren’t New. So Why Are These Products Still Being Marketed for Babies and Infant Care?

By B.N. Frank

Many parents have no idea that there is still no “safe” level of cell phone or WiFi radiation exposure that has been scientifically determined for children or pregnant women.  Children are also much more vulnerable to exposure than adults.

Exposure may not cause immediate and/or noticeable harm.  It also isn’t only about “boosting possible cancer risk. 

It can disrupt the blood-brain barrier which can cause it to leak.  It can worsen pre-existing conditions even if it didn’t cause them.

Regardless, WiFi emitting and “Smart” baby and children’s products are still being designed, manufactured and marketed despite all of this.

Broadcast stations, other media outlets, medical professionals, even celebrities have been warning us about exposure for many years already.

Here are some other examples:

2. 2010 NBCNews.com
3. 2011 CNN
4. 2011 PBS
5. 2012 “Cell Phone Right to Know” Act
6. 2012 American Academy of Pediatrics
7. 2014 Berkeley Cell Phone “Right to Know” Ordinance
8. 2015 NBC “The Today Show”

U.S. federal testing and “safety” guidelines are 20+ years old which makes them inaccurate and inadequate.  They protect technology not the public.

Exposure is cumulative.  More people are “sensitive” to it than what we have been led to believe.  That is why it is important to use precaution with exposure to all sources of WiFi radiation – especially around children.

Exposure may eventually cause a variety of symptoms and illnesses including blood sugar fluctuations, cardiac issues, learning disabilities, respiratory issues, mental health issues and much more.

There is information about radiation exposure included in “The Fine Print” of manuals for personal devices such as Alexa, baby monitors, cell phones, cordless phones, Fitbits, Virtual Reality (VR), WiFi routers, and other “smart” products.

Utility companies aren’t required to provide safety guidelines with digital and wireless utility “Smart” Meters even though they also produce harmful radiation.

Antennas, cell towers, and WiFi “Hotspots” also emit WiFi radiation.  Many have been expressing concerns about exposure from wireless infrastructure including firefighters.

In the U.S., the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is supposed to regulate all digital and WiFi technology.  They have not been protecting the public, and this is not new to the Trump administration.

WiFi isn’t magic.  It is wireless – aka microwave radiation – like what cooks food in microwave ovens.  It’s also sometimes referred to as RadioFrequency (RF).

While fundraisers have been earnestly raising money to find cures for cancer and other health issues, The Telecom Industry (aka “Big Wireless”) continues to design, manufacture, and market more harmful products and infrastructure.

TV, film, and advertising regularly portray unsafe tech use and exposure as well – the same way they did with cigarettes for decades.  Even Sesame Street markets tech products.

Decades of research has confirmed that exposure to all sources of WiFi radiation is harmful to people, pets, nature, and wildlife.

Some countries have been proactive about raising awareness and protecting citizens from exposure. Recently in France, scientists demanded the immediate recall of millions of cell phones after government data revealed that 9 out of 10 phones tested exceed regulatory limits.

In the U.S, it’s been just the opposite.  “The Precautionary Principle” has been completely ignored by everyone except for tech inventors.  They have actually been limiting their own kids’ exposure and sending them to “low tech schools” while marketing digital and wireless technology to educators and public school systems.

Many U.S. elected officials have also completely sold out to “Big Wireless.” They are currently forcing more of it on us in our homes and communities.

Small cell towers including 5G technology is being installed everywhere now.  Dr. Naomi Wolf has been reporting about how this is affecting New Yorkers and their pets.

Digital and wireless utility “Smart” Meters are awful in so many ways – including radiation exposure.

Medicine and medical procedures may reduce or mask symptoms of radiation exposure but they won’t cure illnesses caused or worsened by it.

Cell phone manufacturers have been warning shareholders – not customers –  that they may eventually be held liable for the harm their products have caused.

In the meantime, are you sure you want anything like this near your baby?
