The sun’s rays are indispensable to the human body – among other things, for the formation of vitamin D. At the same time, as scientists have already convinced us, they also pose a considerable risk to the skin. This warning applies to adults, but to an even greater extent of children…
The baby’s skin is much more sensitive to external influences than the adults, years and “beaten”, which is no longer surprising. So if we know that even a long stay in the summer sun is not suitable for us, we have to realize that for small successors of the human family, shorter times are in short.
Lubricate correctly: the following video will advise you:
Hide the newborn from the sun
Certainly it will be no surprise that the smallest, ie newborns and infants within six months of birth, should not meet direct sunlight. Of course, we are talking mainly about hot summer days. Baby sunbathing really is not a good idea at all. Their skin is extremely thin without sufficient stock of melanin pigment and sweat glands are also uninvited. This makes the babies the ideal adepts for overheating or stinter problems.

Within one year only very carefully
Even a little older children under one year should not expose to the sun, and when it happens for a while, it is necessary to protect their skin with a corresponding cream with what the most important factor. Choose really creams for children, so you can be sure that their composition corresponds to the needs of a small man. But it will be better to stay in the shade where air can flow freely. A stroller with a covered canopy and possibly a diaper over a free part is not really a good solution.
Three -year -old children only in the morning and evening
The child is growing, celebrating his first birthday, but he was still not wondering three years of real -life and typical first defiance. What about children of this age and summer sun? Still, they are to spend most of the hot days in the shade, If we decide to take them to sunny places, it should not be at the time of the highest intensity of UV radiationgenerally, between approximately 10 and 4pm.
Don’t worry about long sleeves
If it is necessary, then it is necessary to put the child in the sun in free airy clothing made of natural materials. Don’t worry about the thirty -degree heat of long sleeves and legs. Of course there will be a hat with a wide edge, and if the child can bear them (teach it really from a young age) and quality sunglasses. And finally: even this child is not supposed to go out without cream protection. Those who would be afraid that the child would not have enough welcome dweling without staying in the sun, can be calm. It is enough to produce a few minutes of sun rays.
Put the children in the kindergarten
How are the “kindergartens” and preschoolers? After all, their skin is a little more resistant, but it is still true that between the 10th and 16th hour should move in the direct sun only exceptionally. The baby’s skin should always be treated several times a day with a cream with a SPF factor – ideally 50+. Even at this age, recommendations are similar to those as in younger children – ie clothes, glasses and the like. But the difference is that we do not have to be so anxious to defend a shorter stay in the sun, but preferably in shorter periods with breaks. The skin will gradually get used to the influence of the sun’s rays.
Without water “or wound”
At any child’s age It is necessary to consistently take care of the drinking regime. Those who still have to think of it are always adults, because the child cannot first ask for the water and later realize his thirst mostly only when the body already feels the first hints of dehydration. Therefore, let us never let the situation come to a state where a child comes up with a announcement that he is thirsty.
Better in the shadow of the water
Although it is a pleasant idea of the day spent by children on the shore of the pond or in the swimming pool, we always take into account the child’s health and choose places with sufficient space for the play in the shadow. The absolute ban then applies to targeted tanning of small children due to “healthy brown” skin. As soon as it starts in the shade – albeit slightly – to red the skin of a small child, it is a command to return home. After all, none of us have such small folks in any way endanger.
