Masks for babies NOT.

Masks for babies NOT.

Be very careful that it's safe... most are NOT for babies.

The binky mask is absolutely wrong.

Many masks are obstructive enough that even adults have to breathe through their mouth

Babies and adults can choke on their own vomit

Read the comments. Some are bullsh_t but many are good advice.

"I do not recommend this for any infant, especially my one month old son. Doctor said they do not have the lung capacity to breath with mask"

Common sense?

Don't believe it.

Someone made that binky mask.

I've been doing the shopping since day one. We hit only one store a week. I call my wife and text pictures if we need to communicate. I see some parents making a family outing, wrong on so many levels.
