Anyone else’s eyesight worsened in quarantine from looking at screens all day long (and no longer driving/going outside to look at things in the distance)? I had very slight myopia in my right eye before Covid and now it seems I’ll actually need glasses to drive.

Wanted to get an idea. My almost 10 month old baby never crawled not matter how much tummy time we did with her. She only wants to stand and is trying to walk (supported. She cannot pull herself up well and if she is on her back she doesn't know how to get herself up. She can roll over no issues. How can I help her? We do exercises to help her learn to pull herself up and roll her to the side to teach her how to move from back to sitting. I'm not sure how to help her. Ftm here. Anxiety!!!
