If you take your baby (under 1) for a half hour walk in the afternoon on a sunny day, do you have them wear a hat as well as sunscreen on any exposed skin?

Question

Comment if you do something different such as ensure all skin is covered with loose clothing, sunglasses, etc.

Answer

I put him in the stroller with the sunshade. He’s 10 months and I haven’t used sunscreen yet. I take a wide brimmed hat for if he’s not in the stroller.

Answer

Absolutely. Why is this even a question? It should be common sense 🤦🏻‍♀️

Answer

Use the sunshade on the stroller (I have the UB vista, currently using bassinet seat) but there is a bit of a gap where light comes in so I also put a sun hat with a brim and ear flaps if it’s very sunny

Answer

Sunglasses for sure(work as an optometrist, see so much sun damage that easily could be prevented) and clothing after season, and sunscreen.

Answer

I meant to say sunscreen. We both do, although my daughter doesn’t burn, just gets browner. I try to put hate on her, but she doesn’t keep them on.

Answer

Sunscreen for sure. My daughter has hair so it protects her head. I guess it just depends on your baby and how hot it is outside. If there's a lot of shade where you're walking then I wouldn't worry too much about a hat.

Answer

We play outside for at least an hour, usually closer to 2, almost every day. I've always just put sunscreen on her. I doubt she would keep a hat on. She's 8 months old
