safety question: providing oxygen to a baby in the case of a drop of cabin pressure

{mask for kids}

Also, the other reason for 4 masks is so that there's a spare; in
theory usable by cabin crew if by your seat when the ball drops.

Another question to explore is what is the effect of NOT having a
mask.

The immediate one is loss of consciousness, but I'm not clear on
how long either an adult or a child has to be deprived before they
have any lingering aftereffects. Obviously, at some point they die;
and somewhere short of that they may get brain damage, but what's
the timeline?

(Friends who have been through the chamber training say that recovery
when the O2 starts is almost instantaneous.)

Note that the masks only have a few minutes worth of O2; the theory
is the cockpit crew {with FAR more O2...} can either fix the problem,
or dive to breathable altitudes before .....
