For the record, YWN quotes Jetblue’s mask policy from back in May. Their updated policy clearly states children 2 years old and older must wear masks. https://www.jetblue.com/safety

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

This just drives home the point that mandating masks from age 2 is totally obnoxious. They need to raise the minimum age to at least 4 or even 5.

Why? If they hold not wearing a mask is dangerous than even a 2 day old should have to wear one.
If you can’t comply then don’t fly

I guess you believe a 1 month old should have to wear a mask as well, right?

Their comment will be that the crew followed policy.

Personally I don’t, I think the whole world has gone nuts with this.
 But for someone who is nervous, why should there be a difference if it’s a kid or not, or if it’s someone that has a reason why they can’t wear a mask? If they give someone the virus, would it make that person feel better that they got sick from infant than if they got it from a 20 yr old that refused to wear a mask?
 Does someone wanna explain the logic?

they should raise it bc you think thats a good age? and if the rule was age 4 and you didnt agree with that you'd say age 6 is reasonable right?
this argument is so classic and comes in endless forms: they make rules, people break them, then complain that the rulesmakers are wrong
nothings impossible- the word itself says Im possible

Current science shows there is a much lower rate of transmission from and to children under the age of 9 or 10. Coupled with the recent JAMA study showing the low risk of contracting the virus while on the actual airplane due to the advanced air filtration system, the regs should not require masks on toddlers. There just isn't enough science to back up that requirement.

I strongly disagree with the policy. If it's dangerous for a two yr old then it's dangerous for an infant as well. Two make the mandate apply specifically at an age known as "terrible" (twos), seems pathetically ridiculous.
That said, basics in conflict resolution is to de-escalate. Explaining to the person in control why they're wrong and your right is the exact opposite.
My two yr old would never keep a mask on for 30 seconds let alone a whole flight, but I wouldn't argue with the FA. I would apologize and stick it on his face knowing full well that he's going to rip it off in a minute. I would do that every time it was requested.
I would also try and shield him from view of the aisle by sitting him in the window seat and trying to entertain him facing the window.
