Ways to protect Babies from the SUn
Shade
Shade the baby!
Babies skin is delicate and thinner than children and adults, a sunburned baby is not a happy baby. We all want happy healthy babies!
Hydrate
Hydrate the baby!
Dehydration can cause exhaustion and heatstroke. We know your baby is capable of wonderful things. Getting their own water isn’t one of them.
Avoid Sunburn
Cover The Baby!
Keep babies out of direct sun, sun protective clothing and a hat are a must. Parents and caregivers, these tiny humans are depending on you.
KEEP BABY IN MIND
- Baby’s skin is more delicate & thinner than older children and adults
- The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that younger babies – under 6 months – be kept away from direct sunlight.
-
A sunscreen containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide is preferred. Please consult with physician prior to choosing a sunscreen.
Did you know?Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States. It only takes one blistering sunburn during childhood to nearly double a person’s chance of developing melanoma—the deadliest form of skin cancer—in their lifetime.
Join us today in providing new parents UPF clothing and sun safety tips needed to protect their newborns (0-6 months) from ultraviolet light. We’ll be delivering this sun protective clothing and invaluable education opportunity as they depart participating hospitals.
By sponsoring our No Sun for Babies Program as one of our coveted partners in prevention, you’ll not only be doing a world of good with regard to creating skincare awareness for families, you’ll also be helping to save lives and create healthy sun protective routines that a newborn, and their parents, can continue to grow with.
Throughout the the campaign we’ll be distributing:
UPF baby hats and UPF clothing to parents and their newest arrivals in a co-branded drawstring backpack with a co-branded garment tag providing sun-protection tips and a link to an educational landing page for further information.
