From health and nutrition to behavior and learning, a recent survey of parents of young children in the US suggests that social media is increasingly becoming a go-to for parenting advice. More and more parents are turning to these platforms for advice on such matters, even if they are aware that they may find a great deal of inaccurate information.

A national poll conducted in the US by the University of Michigan Health CS Mott Children's Hospital reveals that social media is an increasingly popular source of information and advice for parents of young children.
