Sleeping close to mobile phone, now I'm worried.

Me and my ds have co slept since he was a few months old. I used to leave my mobile phone on a seat next to my bed. Recently I've been sleeping with it under my pillow. Ds is in the other side of the ( double ) bed.

Now I'm worried that he has been sleeping close to a mobile phone his whole life.
Anyone know if this is dangerous or am I being silly?

I wouldn't put it under your pillow due to a chance of the phone overheating. Shouldn't be left on a soft surface

I always put my phone on airplane mode at night to stop the radiation. There were studies that showed that phones can disturb the sleep cycle at night.

I doubt your ds is seriously hurt, just put your phone on airplane mode and I'd put it next to the bed, not under the pillow

Put dnd or airplane mode on. I have to use dnd so the elderly parents can get through if needed.
