☀️ KEEP YOUR CHILD SAFE IN THE SUN ☀️

🌡️ Hot weather can be dangerous for babies and young children.

Follow these simple tips:

👶 Babies under 6 months
• Keep out of direct sunlight
• Stay in the shade whenever possible

🕶️ Protect from the sun
• Avoid the strongest sun between 11am and 3pm
• Use a parasol or sunshade on pushchairs
• Never cover a pram or pushchair with a blanket
• Dress children in loose, lightweight clothing
• Use a wide-brimmed sun hat and sunglasses

🧴 Sunscreen
• For babies over 6 months and children, use SPF 50+ sunscreen
• Choose protection against both UVA and UVB rays
• Reapply every 2 hours and after swimming or sweating

💧 Keep hydrated
• Offer drinks regularly
• Breastfed babies may feed more often in hot weather
• Older children should drink plenty of water

🚗 Important
NEVER leave a baby or child in a parked car – even for a few minutes.

⚠️ Watch for signs of heat exhaustion:
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Feeling sick
• Excessive sweating
• Tiredness

If symptoms do not improve after cooling down and drinking fluids, seek medical advice.

Stay cool, stay safe, and enjoy the sunshine responsibly. ☀️💙
