Ahoy, beach-loving parents! When it comes time to pack up the sunscreen, towels, and beach toys for your baby's first beach day, there's a lot to think about, plus what should your baby wear to the beach? 

Today, we go over how to prepare your little one for a day at the beach, including must-have baby beachwear to keep your baby safe from the sun's harmful UV rays, which can really damage a newborn's skin. 

What Does a Baby Need to Wear at the Beach?

Babies should wear UPF 50+ swimwear to the beach or any activity that involves sun exposure. Not only does it provide the best sun protection for your little one without all the harmful chemicals found in sunscreen, but it's also adorable and practical. So, grab your beach bag, pack some snacks, and let your baby make a splash in style and safety. 

Here’s what we consider the best sun-protective clothing options for babies for their first beach day:

Aside from baby UPF swimwear, you can also consider other sun-protective accessories for your baby. Wide brim or flap hats keep the shade off of their face, sunglasses with UV protection can help protect their eyes from the sun, and beach tents or umbrellas can provide shade for them. 

Can Babies Wear Sunscreen?

Ah, the eternal question for beach-going parents. First and foremost, it's important to remember that babies under 6 months old should not wear sunscreen because their delicate skin can absorb the chemicals in sunscreen more easily, which can lead to irritation and other adverse reactions. 

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends keeping infants out of direct sunlight and dressing them in lightweight, long-sleeved shirts and pants, as well as brimmed hats that shade the face and neck. But let's be honest, who wants to see their little one in long pants and sleeves on a hot day at the beach?

Alternatives to Baby Sunscreen 

An alternative to baby sunscreen is to keep babies in the shade and dress them in UPF 50+ protective clothing. That's where UPF swimwear, also known as UV protective swimwear, comes in handy. UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor, which is similar to SPF for sunscreen but applies to clothing. UPF swimwear is specially designed to block harmful UV rays and protect your baby's delicate skin from the sun. 

When it comes to choosing the right UPF swimwear, look for a garment with a UPF rating of 50+. This means that the fabric will block 98% of UVA and UVB rays, providing the best protection possible. You can also find swimwear with added features like hoods, zippers, and snaps to make getting your little one in and out of their swimwear a breeze.

However, for babies over 6 months old, sunscreen is a great addition to sun protection. Look for a sunscreen that is specifically formulated for babies and has an SPF of at least 30. Don't forget to reapply every two hours, especially if your little one is in and out of the water. Just remember to follow the guidelines and keep your baby safe and protected from the sun's harmful rays.

At What Age Can You Take a Baby to the Beach?

There isn't a hard and fast rule, but the younger they are, the more careful you need to be because they can experience more long-term harm if they are exposed to too much of the sun's harmful rays. Research on sun exposure shows that some babies are being exposed to the sun's damaging UV rays in their first six months of life when their skin is most vulnerable. Yikes! 

A team at the University of Miami surveyed local parents about their sun protection habits for their little ones, and the results were alarming. Many parents weren't consistent in their efforts to protect their babies from the sun, and some even thought that exposing their infants to more sun would somehow build up their tolerance.

As a result, some babies were getting tanned or even sunburned before they hit the 6-month mark. Let's remember that all infants' skin is super sensitive to the sun, and we need to be extra careful to protect them from those harmful rays. After all, we want our little ones to be healthy and happy for a long, long time!

How Do You Keep Your Baby Safe from the Sun at the Beach?

Now that you've got your little beach babe dressed to impress in their UPF 50+ sun-protective clothing, let's talk about keeping them safe from the sun when you actually get to the beach! 

To keep your baby safe from the sun at the beach, put a UPF sun hat on your baby, and find a nice shady spot to set up your beach headquarters. A beach umbrella or pop-up tent can provide much-needed shade for your little one. And don't forget to pack some UV-filtering sunglasses to protect their delicate eyes. Don’t forget the natural sunscreen for the little ones older than 6 months old and a nice big beach towel to protect everyone’s skin from the hot sand.

5 Must-Have Baby UPF Items

1. Baby Sun Hat

Baby UPF 50+ sun hats are incredibly important for several reasons. As babies have delicate and sensitive skin that is more susceptible to sunburns and long-term damage from UV rays, sun hats are helpful.

Sun hats with UPF protection provide an extra layer of defense against harmful UV radiation, reducing the risk of sunburns and other skin issues later in life. Additionally, often sun hats often have a wider brim that offers better coverage, shielding not just your baby's face but also your baby's neck and ears, which are commonly overlooked areas.
