[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] How can they all be held for story time and reading?

Yes to holding for bottles and prenup soothing or after a upset but I don’t call that cuddling.

And your DD shouldn’t have language delay since she wasn’t with masked caregivers in infancy. My DD is talking up a storm through her mask at 20 months but she was able to see faces as an infant.

Look, I truly Hope masks have no ill-effects, [b]but if they do it was still the right decision to mask[/b].[/quote]

So the WHO and ECDC got it wrong?[/quote]

38 countries and their policies on this page. USA and Canada mask kids at age 2. Malta at age 3. Every other country decided it wasn’t worth the tradeoff to mask toddlers and preschoolers. Many decided not to mask kids until secondary school.

ECDC says the evidence for controlling spread with masks (especially non-medical masks) is low. Sure, you can make a good argument that adults should wear masks indoors in public settings during a pandemic because it may help. But I think an equally valid argument is that kids shouldn’t have to mask because it doesn’t help much and there may be a risk to their development.[/quote]
