[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like many other twins, my twins were born premature (6 weeks).  They spent the first few weeks in the NICU where all of the staff had to be masked and even Mommy and Daddy had to be masked when we came to visit.  Although our twins were probably safe to be around without masks, there were other babies in the NICU who absolutely needed everyone masked, so everyone was masked.

My twins just turned 10 and are fine, happy, healthy and cannot even remember spending time with people who were fully masked (pre-pandemic).

Your baby will be fine with masked caregivers.[/quote]

I have had oreemies. They sleep most of the day and have poor vision. My 34 weeker was out in under three weeks. Not at all comparable to a baby in daycare 40 hours per week who sees no smiles or word formation for 18 months and counting.[/quote]

What, are the parents masked at home, too?
I am a PP with a 16mo who has been in daycare the majority of the pandemic.  There are 8 other toddlers in her class in the same situation.  They’re all saying multiple words at this point.  I also have a 5yo, and I don’t see any difference between my toddler’s language development and that of her older sister at the same age.
We do make a concerted effort to develop language here at home, but we did that with older DD, too.[/quote]

Glad you are able to mitigate effects of masks. Low income kids will probably be the most adversely affected by masks in childcare.[/quote]
