Is a remote control safe to shine on belly while pregnant?

Generally yes, as a remote control uses IR (infrared) Light. It's just light waves that are at a frequency that cannot be seen by our eyes. Chances of infrared being able to penetrate skin and tissue are extremely low, and chances of those waves harming your fetus are even lower. Ultrasound waves, x-rays, and sound waves all have higher potential to harm a fetus than IR light does. Contact your doctor if you have any other questions.
