Going out in the summer, the sun is dazzling and strong. We know that many parents will worry about their baby's skin being sunburned.
But do you know, parents? Baby's skin is more fragile than that of adults and more sensitive to ultraviolet rays. A small sunburn may leave long-term effects.
So, what is considered "full sun protection"? What should I do if I accidentally get sunburned?
Let's discuss it together
I. ☀️ How can babies be "fully sun-protected" when going out in summer?
✅ 1. Wear sun-protective clothing
Choosing a sun-protective swimsuit or long-sleeved clothing that is certified by UPF50+ to cover the baby's back, shoulders, arms, and legs is the most effective way of physical sun protection.

✅ 2. Wear a hat + sunglasses
A wide-brimmed hat can effectively protect the face, ears and neck; sunglasses for infants and young children can reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays to the eyes.

✅ 3. Use children's sunscreen correctly
Choose a fragrance-free physical sunscreen designed for babies, apply it 15-20 minutes before going out, and reapply it every 2 hours.
Be sure not to mix adult sunscreen with baby!
✅ 4. Avoid going out between 10 am and 4 pm
This period is when ultraviolet rays are the strongest, try to arrange indoor activities for your baby. This is the simplest way to protect against ultraviolet rays.
II 🌡️ What should parents do if they get sunburned? Upandfast will tell you, don't panic.
💧 1. Apply cold compress to cool down
Use a clean towel and cool water to gently apply to the baby's sunburned area for 10-15 minutes each time, and repeat several times a day to help relieve stinging and redness.
🧴 2. Moisturizing + Soothing
Choose an alcohol-free, fragrance-free baby moisturizing lotion or aloe vera gel, apply gently and avoid rubbing.
🥛 3. Rehydrate
Sunburn can easily cause babies to lose water, so it is important to replenish water in time. Give your baby more breast milk, formula milk or warm water to prevent dehydration.
📞 4. Continue to observe symptoms and seek medical advice
If your baby has a fever, blisters or obvious discomfort, please see a doctor as soon as possible and do not treat severe sunburn on your own.
💡 Parents’ Note: One Sunburn ≠ Trivial Matter
Studies show that a severe sunburn in childhood may significantly increase the risk of skin cancer in the future.
Prevention is far better than cure. Only by choosing professional sun-protective clothing + correct care knowledge can you truly protect your baby's summer and future.
