Sun care for babies

How can I protect my baby outside?

Sun care for babies

Keep your baby protected outside by covering them up with sun protective clothing, such as loosefitting, longsleeved outfits, clothing in light colours, widebrimmed hats, and sunscreen if they are older than six months.

Seek shade between 10am-3pm, even when the day is overcast. If shade is unavailable outside, consider a UV-protection cover or sun umbrella for the pram, a cabana, and sun shade for the car windows.

Consult your doctor before applying sunscreen to Babies under 6 months of age. As with any product, you put on your baby’s skin, please ensure you always conduct a text patch before applying.
