Summer is all about the beach, pool, sun, and hammocks. But if you have children in your home you will know that it is important to be careful when you start this season. What effect could the temperature increase, UV rays, or water have on children?
We are going to share some basic tips for taking your baby to the beach. These tips will be of great value to you.
Age is a matter of life
Many parents are asking the big question: “At what age can my baby go to the beach?” There is no one right answer. However, there are several approximate and approximate options. The skin of babies is extremely sensitive in the first few months of their lives. It can be caused by the sun, hot sand, sweat, or sea salt.
We recommend waiting until you are 10 months old to go to the beach for your first time.
The key to success is time
Between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., UV rays cause more damage than sunlight.
Complete kit
The following items are essential for a first beach trip with your baby:
Ropita, towels, and spare diapers.
Cream to relieve chafing.
Sunscreen with a physical filter
Thermal bag for baby bottle with milk, water, and bits of fruit.
Toys, teethers, pacifiers…
A child wagon
Protection
You must ensure that your baby’s skin remains protected. Children over six months old can use sunscreen that is resistant to water and has a physical filter. They do not absorb the ingredients and are not harmful to sensitive skin, unlike chemical sunscreens.
Cover your legs and arms with pants and shirts made of breathable or clear fabrics. When you take your dog for a walk, don’t forget your hat. Make sure it is as long as you can under the umbrella.
Hydration is essential at all times
Breast milk is the best option for infants. However, it is recommended to have a thermal bag and a water bottle. For older babies, you can also carry pieces and segments of fruit (melon pieces, orange pieces, tangerines…) that are rich in water. Remember that the baby’s size can make it more difficult for him to avoid dehydration.
A beach wagon can carry all your essentials, such as toys and bags.
