Sun Protection

[Swanny]

Hi,

My baby is only 6 weeks old so I am not planning on purposely exposing him to the sun but when I take him walking even with the hood up on pram the sun gets in and is sometimes on his face. As it is hot today do I need to put high sun protection on his face or put a muslin cloth or something over the pram so he is hidden completely? I've done that before but had some strange looks of people lol

Thanks

you can get some fab sunshades on amazon, i would see about investing in one, for today though i would put on at least facto 30, just in case

it's a hard one. i work in a hospital and was told Ricketts is on the rise because parents are putting too much sunblock on infants and affecting their vitamin d intake. i'm not saying to go stick you little ones in the midday sun hehe but a careful balance. i don't use suncream on my bub unless he's going to be out in direct sunlight - ie if he's in the baby carrier, but if he's in the pram i chuck a muslin over because he hates the sun in his eyes

sorry,i babbled lol
