[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spoke with an infant-toddler caregiver recently about this (I don’t have any children that young, so no dog in this fight). She said they have to mask all day around the babies and that it is surprisingly difficult to soothe them wearing a mask. She said that the crying babies aren’t seeing their caregiver‘s smile or warmth and affection, and it takes them longer to stop crying. This is a totally foreseeable consequence of mask-wearing around infants and toddlers. They get their social cues largely from their caregiver‘s face, of course it will be confusing and traumatic to never see their caregiver smile. I‘m really surprised parents haven’t been more vocal about this in their daycares, but I assume they prefer mask-wearing than not.[/quote] +1. It’s got to take a toll on the babies and young toddlers. [/quote]
