Infant + blue light from computer... thoughts?

Hello all..

My little man joined the party way, way early on January 2nd (due the 23rd). We’ve been home about eight days after a stay in NICU and some complications but overall doing well.

My question.. when baby is done with his diaper and feeding, I tend to rock him and hold him until he’s back to sleep. My partner tends to put him back down pretty quickly after the feeding (to be fair, my man is incredible.. we’re splitting duty 50/50 and I couldn’t do this without him!)

When my partner puts him in his sleeper basket he pulls it over near his computer and settles in for a few hours of work. I totally get the allure of the multitasking, but I’m worried about baby’s blue light exposure? My man has three massive computer screens that tower over his desk and there’s just computer screen brightness glaring at baby. And the make it worse, he tends to like keeping the lights off so the glare is even brighter. I tell him all the time he’s going to burn his own eyes outbut now I’m worried about baby too. 

I also catch myself trying to play on my phone some while rocking him at times, although I do much better job of resisting it than he does. 

We’re so stuck on our phones and being able to do 5 things at the same time. It’s so hard for him to just focus on baby for a few minutes. 

How bad is that light for baby?
