A Survival Guide
A day at the beach is a fun and exciting time! If you take a few minutes to properly pack you can spend more time relaxing and less time worrying about your little ones.

Sunscreen
We recommend you apply little twig’s Extra Mild Unscented Sunscreen 15 to 30 minutes before sun exposure.  Ask a doctor before use on children under six months of age.  Our sunscreen will help to prevent your little ones from burning! Make sure to reapply after swimming and towel drying.

Jennifer Steuart, a fan of little twig says, “this is the most excellent sunscreen. my fair redheaded baby never burned. it wasn’t greasy and lasted through swimming. absolutely a great product.”

Fluids
You want to keep you family hydrated while out in the sun so be sure to prevent dehydration by bringing plenty of water, formula or juice boxes.  If you are breastfeeding it is particularly important that you drink extra water.

Umbrellas
Even if your baby is wearing sunscreen, keep them out of the sun as much as possible. Beach umbrellas help to protect baby’s sensitive skin from direct sun.

Baby Powder
We suggest bringing little twig’s Extra Mild Baby Powder to the beach as well.

little twig mommy Annie Bowles Angelo says it is, “The best thing for getting sand off the baby – and the whole family, for that matter!”

Limits on Time & Temperature
Try to limit your time at the beach and pick a day that with a mild temperature.  Dr. Joan Liebmann-Smith advises that, “Babies’ temperature-regulating systems aren’t fully developed; they have fewer sweat glands than adults, so they sweat less. As a result, they’re not as efficient as adults in keeping cool.”

If you take these tips with you to the beach you should have a great time!  Please upload pictures of you beach-ready little twiggies on our facebook page, we love to see their smiling faces.
