Protect children from the sun according to the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics:
Find shade during peak sun
Babies under 6 months should be kept out of direct sunlight. Move your baby into the shade under a tree, umbrella or stroller canopy. Dress babies in light clothing that covers arms and legs, and use hats with brims that shade the neck to prevent sunburn. For older children, the first and best line of defense against harmful UV exposure is coverage. Stay in the shade whenever possible and limit sun exposure during peak hours – between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Choose protective clothing
Cotton clothing is both cool and protective. Try to find a hat with a wide brim that can shade the cheeks, chin, ears and back of the neck. Sunglasses with ultraviolet (UV) protection are also a good idea to protect children's eyes.
Use sunscreen
Apply sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher to areas of your child's skin that are not covered by clothing. Apply sunscreen 15 to 30 minutes before going outside, as it takes time for the skin to absorb. Reapply every two hours after swimming, sweating or wiping. The additional benefits of using an SPF 50+ sunscreen are limited. It's okay to use sunscreen on babies on small areas of their skin that aren't protected by clothing or hats. But remember that babies touch their mouths a lot so you should be careful and avoid consuming sunscreen in this way. When choosing a sunscreen, look for a waterproof product and the words “broad spectrum” on the label. This means that the sunscreen protects against both ultraviolet B (UVB) and ultraviolet A (UVA) rays.
