Sun Protection
Babies are more at risk in the sun than adults, and children under six months old should always be kept out of direct sunlight. To make sure that your baby (6months+) is protected, you should apply a gentle and scent free SPF/sun cream to prevent burning. Try to avoid applying sun cream to your baby if they are under six months, as their skin is too sensitive and susceptible to
the side effects of SPF.
You should also dress your baby appropriately in lightweight,
breathable clothing that covers their legs and arms, and protect their scalp
and neck with a wide-brimmed sunhat. You should also keep your child hydrated
by encouraging them to drink plenty of water.

In general, it’s best to keep your young child out of direct sunlight and protect them using lightweight clothing, UV tents and a sun hat. When your baby is older than six months, you can start to introduce small amounts of suncream to protect their skin, but make sure to use a gentle and scent free cream to avoid a reaction.

When babies are older than six months, you can start to introduce sun cream and SPF to help protect their skin, but you should still remember to limit their exposure to sunlight, keep them hydrated and dress them appropriately. You should keep your child out of direct sun as much as possible, especially in the summer months between 11am and 3pm.
A baby’s skin contains too little melanin which is the pigment that provides sun protection. Their skin is also much thinner and more sensitive, which means sunburn can occur quickly.
Always keep your baby out of direct sunlight if they are under six months old.
