5 Ways To Stay Safe At The Beach With Your Baby

                                                    

It's summertime and that means many will be spending some time at the beach during this hot season. Here are some safety tips for the beach if your bringing the babies!

1. Keep Hydrated- Bring lots of water and replenish plenty. Drinking water is a must and try to avoid drinks that dehydrate.

2. Lather the Sunscreen- With the littles you want to make sure you have a high SPF. I always use a 30+ on the babies. Spray sunscreens seem to work best for us and then we use a sunscreen stick with a SPF 50 for the face.

3. Bring and Umbrella or Tent- stay in the shade when possible!

4. Safety in Water- always bring a life jacket or puddlejumper for the water. My son won't go in the water without his. 

5. Make sure you are with them always!- That should be a given, but I see many parents sitting on the beach while their littles play in the water. It only takes a split second for a big wave to pound them and knock them off their feet in the shallow waters. Stay near!

I know most of these are common sense but you can never ever be too safe for the beach! Tell us if you plan on taking your littles to the beach and where!
