babies do not like those masks on their faces. it can frighten them so be gentle. sing to them or play some soft music. read to them. nebulizer treatments are very important so even if they cry this will cause them to take big deep breaths and actually improve the efficacy of the treatment. no one wants to cause a baby to cry but unfortunately the advantages of the breathing treatment will greatly outweigh the angst the baby may be experiencing. eventually they get used to it. if your baby is a very sound-sleeper you can do the treatments carefully when they are sound asleep too.
what happens when babies cry during a breathing treatment? is this ok or should it be avoided?
