A. the screen might be causing allergy on the eyes of the child which is causing such a problem so it is advisable to first meet your eyes specialist who will tell you whether any intervention is required at this stage or not

A. Limited screen time is good but only after 2 years of age. So try to change ur baby's attention to something else like story books or puzzles and see if it helps the eyes( the watering stop). After 2 years of age u can give few minutes if screen time as u do now. Try to use TV and make the baby sit at a distance instead of other screens like tablet, laptop or mobiles. If still u notice watering then it's better to consult with a pediatric opthalmologist once.
