A suntan is good for your baby. A tan is a sign of skin damage. Babies can't get sunburned on a cloudy day. Most of the sun's rays can come through clouds and cause sunburns. Baby oil is good sun lotion.
Baby oil causes the skin to burn faster and offers no protection at all.
A proper well-balanced diet and minimum sunlight will give your baby all the necessary vitamins. Sunscreen for your baby For babies under 6 months of age, sunscreen may be used on small areas of the body such as the face and the back of the hands if adequate clothing and shade are not available. For older children, test the sunscreen on the baby's back for a reaction before applying it all over. Apply carefully around the eyes, avoiding the eyelids. If your baby rubs sunscreen into her eyes, wipe the eyes and hands clean with a damp cloth.
