Masks could be delaying development among babies
Babies could be delayed in speech and emotional development due to adults wearing masks around them.
NEW YORK - Becoming a parent is life-changing. With it comes so much joy but at the same time challenges, especially during a pandemic.
"It has been a roller coaster," says Daniele Erichsen a first-time mom.
Erichsen gave birth to her daughter Peyton in November 2020. Her baby has not seen many faces.
In fact, the only people she has seen without a mask have been her mommy and daddy.
"Between trying to keep her safe and the people that we allow around her and them having to wear mask, it honestly is upsetting that she can’t look at their faces. She doesn’t even know what her grandparents really look like," said Erichsen.
