The CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) have warned people against mask-wearing in individuals under the age two years.

If a mask is too tight, an infant or toddler may not be able to vocalize breathing difficulties.

If an infant falls asleep while wearing a mask, they can, indeed, suffocate in a manner very similar to what happens to a baby suffering from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS.
