Why Buy Baby Sun Hats?

Watching your baby play under the sun is a wonderful sight, so the idea that the sun may harm your child seems unreal to you – and besides Vitamin D from sunlight is important. You may have already applied sunscreen, so it might seem that a baby sun hat is not necessary at all. But there are several reasons why using a hat is important, including:



1. Infants’ Skin is More at Risk – it’s not just a logical assumption, but a proven scientific fact that babies’ skin is more susceptible to UV rays than older children. In fact, studies have discovered that young children who suffer from sunburn are more likely to develop skin cancer later in life. This is because infants aged six months and younger have very little melanin in their skin, which means they have no natural protection at all.


It is recommended that babies be kept out of direct sunlight, with clothing that covers arms and legs completely, and a baby sun hat that shades the entire face, ears, and neck – wide-brimmed hats and legionnaire caps are ideal. Check out what SunSmart says about it.


2. Sunscreen Does Not Guarantee – babies aged between 6 and 12 months can wear sunscreen – sunscreen is not recommended for babies any younger. But sunscreen is not enough to keep your baby safe. Wearing protective clothing, such as a baby sun hat and sun protective suit, provides the best protection from damaging UV rays, while sunscreen can be applied to the areas left bare, like the hands and cheeks. Apply 30 minutes before going out, and every two hours afterwards. But keep the hat on!


3. A Practical Solution – buying a baby sun hat is one of the most practical options when protecting your baby from dangerous UV rays. It’s easy to carry around and unlike sunscreen, it is not affected by exertions of the sun – like sweating.

Are Baby Walkers Ever Safe?

Around 2000 children visit US emergency rooms every year for walker-related injuries. "Ninety percent of walker-related injuries are to the head and neck, and the rest are mostly upper extremities (arms and hands). Bruises and contusions to the scalp and face are common," explains Dr. Sczcepaniak, and concussions occur in more than 25 percent of cases. "While fractures happen less frequently, about five percent on walker-related injuries, more than half of these fractures are dangerous skull fractures." When walkers first hit the scene in the early 1970s, they were incredibly popular. Parents thought they'd finally found the answer to keeping baby occupied, engaged, and active while giving busy parents a break. But shortly after their popularity spiked, so did ER visits for injuries like concussions, abrasions, burns, and fractures. Giving babies the freedom to explore their environments unhindered led to accidents. Falling down staircases, burns from otherwise ...
