How do you protect your newborn from UV light?

I have an 8 week old and I have been taking him to parks/beaches/walks around neighborhood since week 1. I try to keep him out of the direct sunlight, by covering him with muslin or bamboo blankets, the stroller’s hood, but sometimes it’s impossible due to the Sun “attacking us” hehe from all sides.

I read an article that says I should avoid the direct sunlight especially 10am-2pm, cover my baby, use a hat (though I think that’s going to make him so hot!), shade, and can’t use sunscreen until 6 months.

I don’t want to go from one extreme to another and keep him inside until he is 6 months 😫

How do you do it?
