☀️ At what age can you take a newborn to the beach?

There is no set rule, but pediatricians recommend waiting until at least the first month of life and avoiding the hottest hours of the day. Babies can benefit from sea air, but they should always be protected from sun, wind and excessive heat.

Recommended times:

• Early morning (before 10:30 am)

• Late afternoon (after 5:00 p.m.)

 For added safety, it is always recommended to consult with your pediatrician.

👜 What to put in your beach bag

Getting organized well is the key to experiencing a beach day with peace of mind. Here is a practical checklist:

Protection from the sun

• Umbrella or beach tent with UV protection

• Hat with visor: best made of breathable and protective fabric

• Lightweight long-sleeved dresses: prefer naturally sourced fabrics that help baby's thermoregulation

In general, remember never to expose your baby directly to the sun in the first few months of life.

Change and hygiene

• Multipurpose muslin to be used as a lightweight bedtime blanket or as a towel to gently dry her skin

• Do not place the baby directly on the sand, prefer supports such as portable nests or always place the baby on an elevated surface such as a deck chair.

• Replacement bodysuit, made of natural, breathable fabrics such as cotton or bamboo

🌬️ How to handle heat, wind and sand

Keeping the newborn fresh

Heat can be uncomfortable for a newborn: best to dress him in light layers and always carry a dry change of clothes. An excellent solution is muslins, which can be used either as a towel or as a lightweight breathable blanket .

Beware of sand

Avoid getting it in the eyes or mouth: you can use a mat or spread a large sheet where the baby can move around safely. If he is already in the crawling stage, bring soft, washable toys with you.

💤 The moment of bedtime

Many infants fall asleep easily with the sound of the sea. To facilitate sleep:

• Use a lightweightblanket or muslin to cover him in your arms or in the stroller

• Bring her favorite doudou or stuffed animal with you

• If sleeping on the beach, make sure it is always in the shade, well ventilated and never directly exposed to the sun

🌊 What about bathing in the sea?

If your baby is over 6 months old and the water temperature allows, you can try letting him touch the sea water for a few minutes. Always hold him in your arms, close to the shore, and in absolutely safe conditions.

Remember: never expose a baby as young as a few months old to direct sunlight and never leave him in water alone, even in a few inches.
