How To Keep Your Baby Stay Away From Dangerous In Summer--safety Tips

Summer is approaching, now is a great time for your baby to go outside to play

. No matter its a day at the beach or a picnic in the park, babies require special care during

the dog days in the summer. Here are some useful tips for you.

Water Safety

Nothing can be perfect on a summer day than a dip in the pool, ocean or local lake or private swimming pool. There are many hazards lurking beneath the water surface when it

comes to infants. Babies and younger are prefer to play water in a lake or a swimming pool than adults and their risk of catching a water born illness is therefore higher.

Many bacterial and parasitic infections can be spread through contaminated water such as Campylobacter, Hepatitis A, Cryptosporidium and Giardia. Babies become ill when they

accidentally suck in contaminated water as can happen frequently during swimming or water-time playing. While no one wants baby to miss out on one of the best parts of summer,

there are things you can do to reduce the chances of your child becoming ill. Make sure to keep babys head above the water surface, limiting the chance of him swallowing

water. In addition, keeping away from older children who are like to splashing, waves will also decrease the chance of your baby swallowing contaminated water.

Drowning is a serious summer safety issue. Many children are died because of this every year in summer. All children must be supervised when around water. Young children can

drown in water as shallow as two inches. No child should be considered safe and a good self rescuer around water, even if they are an avid swimmer. Parents should invest in life

vests and children should be supervised at all times while swimming, its better swimming after them, especially in the ocean. In addition, all pools should be gated with

child-proof, self-latching entrances. Gates should be tall enough that children cannot climb over them and built in such a way that children cannot squeeze through the rails or

posts.

Sizzling In The Sun

Babys tender skin cant to test in the hot sun, so its up to us to protect them. To ensure a fun day in the sun without feeling the burn, first use lather up baby with SPF

15 or higher. Apply the first round of sunscreen before you step out into the rays, at least a half-hour before sun exposure. Make sure to get every last inch of babydont

forget those cute little ears, toes and any other areas the sun might kiss. Also, keep in mind that clothing and swim suits shift as baby moves so be sure to get underneath

them, otherwise baby may end up with a very red outline of what he was wearing. Waterproof sunscreen should be used if swimming, and all sunscreen should be reapplied at least

every 3 hours or after coming in contact with water or heavy sweating. Also, sunscreen is not recommended for babies under six months of age. If your baby is under six months

and must be out in the sun, additional protection such as an umbrella and appropriate clothing is a must.

Worried about the contents of sunscreen? Nowadays, green babies dont have to end up red. There are many organic sunscreens available for parents who are so holistically

inclined. When it comes to young children, the less chemical exposure the better, so check sunscreen ingredients carefully and consult with your doctor if youre unsure if

something is safe.

Keep baby cool by avoiding long time of sun exposure, seeking shade, using protective clothing and umbrella to stop sun X-rays. Make sure the sunlight not hurt your babys

eyes. And do not go to beach as less as possible during 12pm to 17pm because the sand in the beach is hottest and its easy to dark your skin and your babys. By the way, it protect your family a lot.
