Which swimsuit to buy for a baby to protect against UV rays?
To choose the right swimsuit for your baby, several criteria must be taken into account.
First, you can choose a one-piece or two-piece swimsuit for your baby.
The one-piece swimsuit has the advantage of being in one piece by definition.
Therefore, there is no risk of seeing a small piece of baby belly appear at the risk of being exposed to the rays of the sun.
For their part, two-piece swimsuits make it easy to change the baby's diaper or to remove the bottom quickly to avoid accidents during toilet training.
The choice between a one-piece or two-piece swimsuit for a baby therefore mainly depends on your preference.
It is also possible to prefer a two-piece baby swimsuit for toddlers in their first months,
because you have to change them often, and choose a one-piece swimsuit when your child starts to walk, because he moves more.
In addition, it is strongly recommended to choose an anti-UV swimsuit for babies.
Indeed, it is the best way to protect him from the harmful effects of the sun without depriving him of the joys of discovering the beach or the swimming pool.
Ideally, opt for 50+ UV protection.
Indeed, this means that the anti-UV swimsuit filters 98% of UV rays.
Be careful, however, putting an anti-UV swimsuit on your baby does not exempt you from applying sunscreen to all the areas not covered by the fabric.
In addition, some anti-UV baby swimsuits are also treated against sand.
This avoids possible irritation caused by rubbing with the grains of sand.
Ideal for protecting your baby's fragile skin.
To protect your baby from UV rays, also consider equipping him with a hat such as a bucket hat or a cap and sunglasses.
The application of sunscreen should be renewed every hour for optimal protection.
Finally, you can buy a sunshade or an anti-UV tent to put your baby in the shade and shelter from the UV.
