☀️ Summer may not have fully arrived just yet, but with the Summer Solstice on 21st June marking the longest day of the year, warmer days are hopefully just around the corner!
Whether you're enjoying sunshine, dodging rain showers or doing a bit of both, the summer months bring wonderful opportunities for sensory exploration. Babies love watching leaves dancing in the breeze, listening to birdsong and discovering new sights, sounds and textures outdoors.
As Dr Lin Day reminds us, sunlight is an important source of vitamin D, but babies' delicate skin needs extra protection during periods of strong UV radiation.
Because of concerns over sunburn, the FDA recommends that babies avoid direct sunlight between 10am and 4pm, when UV radiation is at its strongest.
Swipe through for Dr Lin Day's sunshine safety advice, simple tips to help keep your little one comfortable in warmer weather, and an exclusive offer from our friends at SnoozeShade.
How are you and your baby enjoying the great outdoors this month? ☀️
