In the viral clip, Priscilla is seen placing Rakeem in a baby sitter while he watches Cocomelon, a popular children’s show. The infant appeared cheerful and alert, moving his legs in excitement as the cartoon played in the background.
However, the video sparked a wave of reactions online, with many viewers warning the young mother about the possible risks of exposing a newborn to screen time too early. Several commenters pointed out that an infant’s eyes and brain are still developing, and overstimulation could have long-term effects.
Some users advised her to avoid television entirely for now, while others suggested switching to gentler, less stimulating options when the baby is older.
This is not the first time Priscilla has drawn public attention over her parenting choices. Months ago, she faced backlash after a clip showed her dancing with Rakeem in her arms without adequately supporting his neck and back — prompting safety warnings from followers.
Below are some reactions from social media users:
- @starlume_3: “Cocomelon is overstimulating to the brain. Even if screen wants to be introduced, Ms. Rachel or other less stimulating shows are okay.”
- @odeh305: “This baby is not up to two months. I feel it’s too early for this. They want this boy to become one year overnight.”
- @angelasusanomoike: “This is too early to expose him to screens. His eyes and brain are still developing. No hurry please.”
- @mrsdon01: “Baby Rakeem has no business with screen for now. Pediatricians recommend avoiding screen time until age three. All he needs now is bonding.”
- @ebubeed: “This screen exposure is dangerously early. The effect could be counterproductive to his development. God bless Rakeem.”
Despite the criticism, a few fans also left positive comments admiring the baby’s liveliness and beauty.
