My friend just texted me a picture of her baby and she was under the light without a mask....her baby is at home.
She said the mask is optional? I don't know enough about it but her son is only 48hous old (was full term).

I've never seen a baby under the lights without those badass goggles.

i couldn't sleep because charlie's mask kept moving around and i adjusted it all night long. i was afraid he'd go blind!!

@Mrs. Bee: seriously...I would be the same!
@mrbee: thank you for thank link; I read it then forwarded it to her. She's sticking to her guns and says the nurse called them "optional".
I am going to stop interfering at this point. But to me, if something is optional for my newborn's health, then I'll do it! -
Yeah even if they were "optional" I would still put them on.

@TurtleDoves: some people put a lot of faith in what professionals say! I trust, but verify (when possible).

I've seen the ones that only goes under them that they take home with them so their baby just sleeps on top of it. I think those don't require masks. Both of my boys were in an incubator with lights above and behind them which required the mask.

@erwoo: he's in an incubator with light above him and to his sides
-
Wow. I would at least try to keep them on!
-
@TurtleDoves: Oh okay. Well, at least you did your part in telling her. If she doesn't want to the there's nothing anyone can do about it. I would have kept it on.
