With various diseases a newborn child can get from interacting in outdoor events such as a birthday party, it might be tempting to have them put on a face mask, however, this can pose potential danger.
The risk of suffocation as a direct result of wearing a face mask is high amongst children that it is not advisable for those 2 years old and below to wear them.
Babies are not able to express whether they are encountering a breathing restriction which makes these safety gear especially hazardous to them. On the other hand, a toddler might bite on face mask and accidentally choke on loose parts like strings.
