Apply Sun Protection Thoroughly

When applying sunscreen, make sure you get all over: bottoms of feet, on the scalp (very important that you get babies there), etc. Even kids with hair should have sun protection on the places where their hair parts. Also apply to the tips of the ears, hands, eyelids, etc. Make sure you slather a shot-glass-size amount over your child's body and enough to cover his face.
Always reapply sunscreen after children swim, as even waterproof sunscreen doesn't always last long enough or stay on strong enough to compete with the sun's rays. And even if your child is wearing a T shirt over her suit, she should be properly sunscreened beneath it as the shirt is only an equivalent of an SPF 4 and won't protect them from all of the UVA and UVB rays.
