black light?

My bf has been keeping the black light on more. And I was curious to seem if it was bad for the new baby. And I read that the lights can emit uv light which might cause a slight burn of the eyes. But isnt that the same risk as normal with adult eyes? So is it worth to take them down from the wall? I mean will it really harm the baby?

Stare at any light
The spots you see afterwards is actually your retina burning, it goes back to normal after a while.
Black lights are usually dim lights so i cant imagine your baby is being harmed unless he is staring right into the lights
