Babies Should Not Wear Masks
I read an article that discussed the dangers of babies wearing masks. Babies airways are smaller, so breathing through a mask harder on them and it can increase the risk of suffocation.
One article stated that The CDC recommends that children over the age of 2 wear a mask. But another article suggested that a mask may not be a good idea for toddlers. They will probably try to remove it and therefore touch their faces more often. Another concern is that there are no N95 masks approved for young children.
So what do you do? Hopefully, if you are a parent of a baby you have been able to keep them at home but if you must take them out for some reason, how do you protect them?
