Just been wondering, it's been pretty hot these days and when we go out my daughter's cheeks tend to get red from the heat so maybe a hat would help to shield her face from the sun a bit? If you do what kind of hat and where do you get them?? My daughter's 10 months old!

i use bucket hats from amazon but i have a mini stroller fan as well that keeps baby cool .

Yes! Always try to protect baby from the sun. Make sure she has cool water and some cold fruit purée. This sun hat is great https://www.amazon.com/play-green-sprouts-Protection-Coral/dp/B097J2YKXM/ref=asc_df_B097J2YKXM/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=563741805980&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17733201982522656098&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1016191&hvtargid=pla-1655600741656&psc=1

Bucket hats, a portable mini fan/stroller fan, and SUNSCREEN are MUSTS

I do but he takes it off and then he can’t see anything and is sad 😅

Yes I use a sun hat

I use a cotton bonnet for my 6 month old

When I was baby wearing him I’d wear a huge sunhat to give him some shade, when he separates from me then yes I put a hat on him, usually one that matches with his bathers if he is swimming/splashing

Yes always a hat and sunscreen (over 6 mos)! Sun damage is cumulative over your lifetime, and my mom constantly has skin cancer removed from her face, first diagnosed at age 40! Now at age 59, she’s all scarred up all over her hairline/forehead, it’s awful. I don’t mess around with the sun, for myself or my baby.
My favourite baby sunhat I got at Carters but I have some Walmart ones too

Yes ,or have a sheet over the pram depending on child's age.

Yes

We try, bucket hat, baseball cap, sun hat, even a bonnet, he pulls them all off
Ours are from M&S and Asda

We do its a bit of a battle to keep it on, but I've found if you distract her with something else she forgets about it. We have a normal sun hat for when shes in the pram and if we are holding her on in the sling a bucket type that covers her neck

Thank you ladies for your advice! I guess I should get a bucket hat 😁 Also, a baby sunscreen!

What if your child doesn't like hats what would you mamas advise iv even tried sunglasses an nope doesn't like anything on his head. Wish there a shampoo thats like a suncream as my son has alot of hair.

Yes a cotton bonnet covers her head and protects her eyes and face as a back up but i always keep her in the shade whenever possible. 4 months old

My son is 14 weeks and I do put a sunhat always and only sometimes sunscreen because sometimes we just sit on the porch and wonder around our yard and outside our house as we have a big backyard and private front yard (from the Street you can't see into our home, you can only see the driveway)

We love bitty brah hats. Here is a code too if anyone needs it: LX-I8O7D5
