Just an fyi, this is actually dangerous for babies. Their airways aren’t developed enough and it’s a suffocation risk.
Correct.
2 years and younger is recommended to not wear a mask for those reasons.
The parent might not realize it and trying to protect there baby, but this is a classic case of good intentions leading to unintended outcomes.
Woah is this true? Huh I always thought it was because kids under two most likely wouldn't keep them on and just would rip them off so there was no point in trying to enforce that rule on them.
Newborns are fragile as fuck. When we were in the hospital after having hours, a nurse on the first night put the baby in her basinet, but had rolled up a swaddle into a roll to make a little pillow for her.
In the middle of the night, another nurse came in to take the baby for routine tests and freaked the fuck out that there was something elevating the baby's head. Just doing that could block/misalign the airways from the head tilt. My wife explained what happened. It was a whole big thing and we never saw that original nurse again the five nights we were in there.
