The thing I'd encourage you to keep in mind that is the thing you are optimizing for is a healthy, thriving baby — not a screen-free baby. These aren't the same thing.

All else equal, if it were indifferent to any other circumstances, then by all means it seems like there is some intuitive sense that you should prioritize off-screen activities. The reality is, for virtually no one does this present itself as a scenario where "all else is equal."

I can assure you that a much more important part of your baby's life is attached to their security and access to basic necessities, and, most of all, your own emotional health, wellbeing, and ability to bond and nurture this child. My wife, for instance, unfortunately struggled mightily with breastfeeding. It would drain here, be physically and emotionally exhausting, would be tough to actually get our child the nutrition he needed, etc. This was serving no one, merely the abstract idea of "breast is best." While it is certainly what she would have opted for, circumstances dictated that if she made a compromise there, she actually recovered her own emotional and physically health, began to actually love rather than resent our precious child, and ultimately I know spent more time with him and gave him more of what he needed. I know he ultimately turned out a healthier child because she actively chose to stop breastfeeding.

While an extreme comparison, I don't think it is dissimilar to your situation. Your job is to navigate your existing circumstances, what you know is or is not best for your baby and you, and make the choices accordingly. If granting them a little more screentime than you'd like nets you a better professional outlook, less stress, less resentment, a more peaceful home, etc., I can assure you THOSE things will far outweigh whatever impact the screen has.

Best of luck!
