Can a newborn baby wear a mask, and can a newborn baby wear a mask

I believe that at the end of 2019, no Chinese people thought about what kind of New Year they were about to usher in, and now Chinese people are fighting against this epidemic. Until today, the overall situation of the epidemic has changed for the better, but even so, self-protection cannot be neglected. Especially for infants and toddlers, parents should be more careful.

So can babies and toddlers wear masks? Or can a few months old baby wear a mask?

I believe that all parents are most worried about the impact and harm of their babies in this epidemic. Therefore, most parents obey the overall arrangement of the state, that is, they are at home with their children and do not go out, which is also the safest way. But some families have special reasons and have to go out, so they need to protect their babies.

Under normal circumstances, it is not recommended for children under one year old to wear masks, because on the one hand, the masks on the market, even children's masks, cannot be guaranteed to fit the face of a few months old baby, so it is useless to wear them; On the other hand, even if parents can buy masks that fit snugly around their faces, it is very easy for small babies to breathe and there are risks. Therefore, it is best for parents not to wear masks for small babies, and it is recommended that one-year-old and preferably two-year-old babies wear masks again.

If a small baby needs to go out, it is recommended to choose a stroller and use clear plastic paper to protect it, which can also reduce the chance of infection.

For all parents, the safety and health of the baby is everything, so parents must protect their babies in this epidemic. For adults, if they go out, they will choose to wear various types of masks to prevent the virus. So for newborn babies, can they wear masks?

Originally, the arrival of the newborn baby was a very happy thing. However, the new coronavirus epidemic in Wuhan is serious this time, so the women who gave birth during this time are very nervous and afraid of accidentally contracting this virus during their hospitalization. In fact, in this regard, mothers can rest assured that the state has made special arrangements for the epidemic prevention work of production institutions, which will ensure the health of mothers and babies to the greatest extent.

However, many parents who are new parents are still not at ease and want to put on a mask for their baby. But you must pay attention to wearing a mask for newborns, and be careful of doing bad things with good intentions. As we all know, the newborn baby is very small, the respiratory tract is still developing, at this time if the baby wears a mask will affect its breathing, so the newborn is not recommended to wear a mask, if not found in time will cause unimaginable consequences.

Therefore, as far as newborn babies are concerned, as long as the environment in which the baby is located is clean and hygienic and disinfected, parents need to ensure that the room is ventilated, and the parents who take care of the baby wear masks and do a good job of cleaning themselves. As long as you do this, you can provide a certain amount of protection for your newborn baby.

At the time of this epidemic, ordinary people stayed at home to protect themselves and at the same time reduce the infection rate of the epidemic. But for pregnant women who are about to give birth, they have to go to the hospital. Many first-time mothers are very worried about their newborn babies and are afraid that they will be infected on the way home from the hospital.

It is precisely because of this that parents must do a good job of protection. So how should a mask be worn for a newborn?

For adults, as long as they choose N95 masks, N90 masks or medical masks when going out, they can play a very good role in self-protection, but newborns are too young to strictly allow newborns to wear masks. On the one hand, the respiratory system of newborns is relatively weak, so the breathing strength is low, and it is difficult to withstand the pressure caused by the mask; On the other hand, there is no newborn size mask on the market, and if the mask is too large, it will not play a protective role, but also cover the baby's nasal passage, which is very unfavorable. But in this special period, the baby needs to go home, so to go out, then you can choose to use an ordinary medical mask for the baby, temporarily cover it, and in the process of use, parents must be very careful to observe the baby's reaction, if there is an abnormality needs to be dealt with in time.

At the same time, it is recommended that the baby choose to drive by himself when he comes home, which is safer.
