One of the primary concern for parents in the summer is SUNBURN.

Not only will too much exposure under the sun increase your child's skin cancer risk later in life, it will also cause discomfort and pain. Whether your child will go swimming, biking or just take a short walk, it is important to take preventive care.




For kids, it is best to apply sunblock/suncreen with a high SPF and contain titanium oxide or zinc oxide. I can recommend the following:

Coppertone Water Babies. Available in 30 & 45 SPF. It has instant waterproof protection, hence the name. I highly recommend this product if you choose to take your baby swimming.

Hawaiian Tropic Baby Faces. SPF 60. You can buy this with a detachable travel-size bottle.

Baby Magic Sunblock Instant Protection. SPF 50. The new formula provides immediate sun protection.
