Is it safe to nebulize 1 month old baby?

If used as directed: I use a nebulizer occasionally in kids this age to deliver either medications or additional moisture to help thin secretions.It is safe and effective if used properly.

Other option mgt: It is safe if used as directed. The other alternative is to use an infant mask and spacer for infants. These are used in neonates and can effectively deliver aerosolized medications.
