Baby Sunburn
Babies don't benefit from a tan! An infant's and child's skin is very sensitive and can easily burn from sun exposure, causing real and even permanent damage. If the baby is going to be outdoors, it is important to avoid direct sunlight. Sunscreen is not recommended for infants under 6 months of age, so use a hat, umbrella, or other protection whenever possible. For infants over 6 months of age, always apply sunscreen as well. If it's suspected that the infant has a sunburn, call the pediatrician for advice.
