5 Helpful Tips to Protect Your Baby From the Sun
1. Dress your baby properly.
Even when it’s hot outside cover your baby’s arms and legs in lightweight, light-colored clothing. Use fabrics with a tight weave. Keep a sun-protective change of clothing in your car or diaper bag in case you are caught outside on a sunny day. Sun hats are very important for babies to wear.
2. Toss on a hat.
Regardless of the amount of hair your baby has, a sun hat is essential. Use one with a wide brim for neck and ear protection. Ideally, you want something large enough to shade the face.
3. UV-protective sunglasses.
Some parents have a hard time getting their child to wear sunglasses. If your baby is old enough, he might be able to grasp the benefit of eye covering. Tell the girls how cute and the boys how cool they look with their sunglasses on! Remember our sunglasses are both FDA approved and UV400.
4. Stay out of the sun.
Right… like you’re only ever going to venture outside when the sun isn’t up. I know it’s an impossible thing to do, but just try to keep sun exposure to a minimum. Baby skin is still delicate and especially susceptible to sun damage. When you do have to go outside, keep your trips to the mornings or evenings when it’s cooler and sun’s intensity is limited.
5. Use sunscreen generously.
You’re looking for a “broad spectrum” sunscreen and it should say this on the bottle. This means it protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Apply the lotion 15 to 30 minutes before you head outdoors and reapply at least every 2 hours. Make sure to cover your baby’s tops of the ears, back of the neck, hands, and feet. If you take your baby into the water, reapply the sunscreen as soon as she/he is dry.
Be aware of the sunscreen’s expiration date. The active ingredients can lose effectiveness over time.
