We all know that sun exposure has a lot of benefits. However, keep in mind that your little one’s skin is sensitive and is at risk for serious burns when he’s exposed to the sun.

With this, the US Food and Drug Association (FDA) and the American Academy of Pediatrics say babies below 6 months should be kept out of direct sunlight. For babies like this age, the best protection is to keep them under a shade such as an umbrella or a tree.

Now if your child is older, then you can use sunscreen. Look for the following when choosing sun protection:

  • broad-spectrum sunscreen – covers both UVA and UVB rays
  • water-resistant – up to 40-80 minutes
  • sun protection factor (SPF) – at least 30 or higher
