If you're wondering whether to apply sunscreen to your newborn's delicate skin, the answer is no. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises against using sunscreen on babies younger than 6 months old. At this early stage, their skin is highly sensitive and prone to irritation. Instead, protect your little one by keeping them in the shade, dressing them in lightweight, long-sleeved clothing, and using a hat to shield their face. If you must go outdoors, opt for early morning or late afternoon when the sun's rays are less intense. Remember, your newborn's skin is still developing, and it's crucial to take extra precautions to maintain their health and safety.
