A. To address a mobile addiction in an 18-month-old child, it is crucial to set clear boundaries and create a healthy balance between screen time and other activities. Limiting the child's exposure to mobile devices by setting specific daily time limits can help establish a routine that prioritizes physical play, social interaction, and learning through traditional methods like books and toys. Encouraging outdoor activities and engaging in interactive play can also redirect the child's focus away from screens. Additionally, leading by example and minimizing your own screen usage when around the child can reinforce the importance of offline activities. Consistency, positive reinforcement, and patience are key in addressing and gradually reducing a young child's dependence on mobile devices. Consulting with a pediatrician or child psychologist can provide additional guidance and support in managing the child's mobile addiction.f

A. hello you have got your baby addicted to the mobile at the very youngest age which is not really a good option and you should better give your child other toys to play with and distract the child and it is okay even if the child cry but avoid keeping the phone near the child also
