1 month baby can use a mask?

In order to prevent the virus from spreading through droplets, adults and children can wear masks every day when they go out, but recently some novice parents feel very annoyed. Although children can wear masks, can babies of 1 month wear masks?

It is not recommended to wear masks for babies born at 1 month, because wearing masks will affect their normal breathing to a certain extent, while babies under half a year old are too young to speak and express their feelings, so it is easy for them to feel uncomfortable, but their parents just don't know. In addition, babies under half a year old have not been able to get rid of the mask by themselves, and there is a risk of suffocation, so babies under 1 month are at risk of suffocation.

Parents can take the following measures instead of wearing masks. First, it is better to minimize the baby going out and stay at home. If you really need to go out, try to choose a place with few people and good air circulation, such as a park. When going out, if you use a stroller, parents can put a protective cover on the stroller, but parents should pay attention to the fact that the protective cover is made of cloth, yarn and plastic, and it is safer to choose plastic at present.

However, the air permeability of plastic protective cover is not as good as that of cloth or gauze, so parents had better put a small fan in the stroller to prevent the baby from feeling stuffy. Although protective covers can be used instead of masks, parents are advised to reduce their baby's unnecessary time out. And when the baby comes home, parents must pay attention to the baby's cleanliness, put on new clean clothes for the baby, and help the baby wipe his face and hands with a towel.
