helmet for baby - for brother's baseball games?

Our little Alli(6 month but wearing 9/12 month clothing) is going to be watching her older brother(11) play baseball this year. I see bike helmets but does anyone know of a "batting" type helmet I could get for her? I like the idea of the visor and the ear protection against crazy pop flies. I see a person get hit every year and I'd like to prevent it from doing any major damage to her head in case she gets hit.

Thanks.

Update:

No...not over protective...I've seen the balls smack people right in the head...every year since he has been playing since he was 6 years old. Just taking an extra precation that's all for this first year. Not talking tee ball - kids pitching 60 MPH and bat speeds added to that...pretty painfull line drive even for an audult. Im,agine that for a 6 month old.

But thanks for the less than helpful information I asked for.

Update 2:

Good point on the neck support, I did not even think of that. I guess we will just move out to the outfield instead of the stands on the baseline. Thank you!

    The problem you are going to have is a young child's neck can not support that much weight.

    The only thing I could find was cloth for a child under 1 was www.onestepahead.com and ww.thudguard.com . They aren't designed for the protection you are seeking.
