If it's hot midday sun, greatly limit her exposure, have her wear a wide brim sun hat, and maybe try to go in just when there is some shade over the pool. In the past I have found some good 50UPF sun hats by iPlay at Target, which had nice wide brims. I haven't checked for them yet, but I suspect they will have them again. And kiddie pools are a good idea because you can set them up right in the shade, some even have overhead shades. Their skin is quite delicate so it can burn easily (these baby to childhood burns are what they think causes skin cancer later). Hope that helps! Yes- I think it’s ok to go in the pool with her.

I didn't know that you're not supposed to use sunscreen on infants under 6 months of age. My newborn actually got a bunch of swim suits as gifts. Do you think it's OK to take her in the pool, even without sunscreen?? Great post Amy! I didn’t know that you’re not supposed to use sunscreen on infants under 6 months of age.
