The younger the child, the less melanin is produced by his skin, and it is this pigment that is responsible for protection from ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, babies in the sun should be monitored especially carefully and all measures should be taken so that the skin does not burn, and heatstroke does not occur.
Necessary
- - clothes with long sleeves;
- - headdress;
- - Sunglasses;
- - sunscreen.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose a safe time to walk with your child. It is best to walk from morning to eleven o'clock and in the afternoon after four. At lunchtime, the sun is too hot, and it is better for the baby not to be outside. If you need to go out with your child at noon, try to walk along the shady side.
Step 2
Choose your baby's summer wardrobe carefully. Give preference to lightweight pants and long-sleeved shirts. In clothes, it is better to prefer light colors. Even if it is more easily soiled, it does not heat up so much from the sun's rays.
Step 3
When sending your child outside, make sure that he does not forget to wear a hat. Best for children are panama hats with wide brims and caps, the visors of which protect the eyes and forehead. If you are going to the beach with your child, it is better not to take off your hat even while swimming.
Step 4
Buy sunglasses for your baby. Choose a quality UV resistant model. Inexpensive children's plastic glasses are suitable only as a toy and can even harm: the child has to strain his eyes in them.
Step 5
Most babies over six months old are Johnsons And Johnson's, Our Mom, Klorane. The minimum protection factor for baby cream should be 15. When buying, be sure to pay attention to the expiration date.
Step 6
Before using the product, conduct a tolerance test. Apply the cream to your baby's elbow or knee. If the child does not experience an allergic reaction during the day, the contents of the bottle can be used. For walking around the city, it is enough to lubricate open areas of the body with a protective cream. If you go to the beach, be sure to treat the child in advance and renew the layer of cream every time after bathing.
