Sun CareDue to children’s extremely sensitive skin it is critical to protect them from over-exposure to the sun. Some key ideas to consider and relevant safety products are listed below: - Babies need protection from the sun at all times as their skin/eyes are very sensitive and delicate. Exposure to UVR can cause painful sunburn and lead to freckles, wrinkles and increase risk of skin cancer.
- Always use sunscreens when outdoors in the sun.
- Protect your baby’s eyes with sunglasses.
- Always ensure your child is wearing a broad-brimmed hat and protective clothing when outdoors.
- Consider using a beach tent when at the beach or park.
- Always shade your baby when out and about in the pram with a pram shade cover.
- Protect your baby’s skin when in a car by the use of tinted windows, sunscreen film, or a roll up sun shade or a rear sun shade.
