Pack for the Beach with Baby - Bring a chemical-free sunblock that contains titanium dioxide or zinc oxide to the beach.

Reapply sunblock to your baby's skin every two hours or after water exposure; focus on areas prone to burning such as your baby's ears, nose, shoulders, and back of the neck. Use a sunblock with an sun protection factor of at least 15.
Pack a sunhat and sunglasses for your baby to protect his scalp and eyes from the sun's damaging rays.
