Safe sun protection for babies – how to protect delicate skin
Safe sun protection for babies starts with shade, appropriate clothing, and limiting sun exposure during the hours when the sun is strongest. For babies under 6 months, the primary protection should be physical—a hat, light clothing, a sunshade, and avoiding direct sunlight. The FDA and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that newborns and infants under 6 months of age be kept out of direct sunlight.
