Will the entire hat cover the child's face cause anoxia to the brain?

Patient's question:

My daughter is 26 days old. This noon, she was sunbathing under the window. I put my knitted hat over her eyes to cover her eyes. Then I went inside to use the restroom for about 10 minutes. When I came back, the hat was completely covering the child's face. The child was crying hysterically, sweating profusely, and breathing rapidly. After a while, her breathing stabilized and she stopped crying. I'm wondering if she might have experienced oxygen deprivation to the brain. I checked her limbs, and they seem to be moving fine. I'm worried that it might affect her brain development. How can I determine if she might have choked on water?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, covering the hat on the head will never cause breathing difficulties because it is breathable. The child is crying severely, which is the cause. It is recommended to breastfeed regularly, eat more vegetables and fruits, get more sun, and can appropriately supplement calcium. If the child has other symptoms again, go to the hospital for further and careful examination. The above is the advice on the question "Will the entire hat covering the child's face cause brain hypoxia," and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
