When taking your baby outside, sun protection is essential. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 for babies over six months and dressing them in lightweight, long-sleeved clothing.
Hello5ive suggests ensuring your baby stays hydrated during outings. On hot days, bring a sunshade or umbrella for extra protection from direct sunlight.
For toddlers, consider outdoor activities after 5 PM when the sun is less intense. Monitor their skin for redness, an indicator of too much sun exposure.
