With warmer days ahead, remember that the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) recommends all children — regardless of skin tone — use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Even dark skin can burn and be damaged by the sun.

Tips for Sun Safety:
1️⃣ Choose a family-friendly sunscreen for convenience.
2️⃣ Add extra protection with a wide-brimmed hat.
3️⃣ Keep babies under 6 months out of direct sunlight.
4️⃣ Avoid sunscreens with allergens or hormones (like PABA and oxybenzone).
5️⃣ For sensitive skin, look for zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.

What causes constipation in newborns?
Constipation is fairly common in little ones and can happen for a few reasons:

- An immature digestive system
- Lack of probiotics in the gut
- Early exposure to formula

If you notice persistent constipation or discomfort, it’s always best to check in with your paediatrician. 💙
