Infants and children are particularly susceptible to harmful
rays from the sun. When you are outside with your child, protect
them from overexposure to the sun. Children should wear hats
to protect their heads and sunglasses to block the ultraviolet
rays.
- Limit exposure to the sun when it is at its strongest
(10 a.m. - 4 p.m.)
- Use sunscreen daily, even if it is cloudy, since
most of the sun's radiation
penetrates through clouds and can still cause sunburns.
- Make sure your child drinks plenty of water to prevent
dehydration.
