Summer is (finally) here and it's time to get ready for the holidays. You are looking forward to going to the seaside with your little one to enjoy the water. So it's important that you have everything you need to protect him and make him feel good. Read the rest of this article to get the essentials for your baby in summer.
Sunscreen :
First on the list of essentials, sunscreen is obviously the most important thing to have with you. Whether it's for a day at the beach or a day out in the pram, it's important to protect your baby from the sun's UV rays. Vidiamo's favourite: Alphanova's organic baby sun lotion, SPF 50+ protection, 100% natural https://alphanova.fr/product/creme-solaire-bebe-bio-haute-protection/
The Vidiamo umbrella:
Always to protect your child from the sun's UV rays, think of equipping your Limo with the Vidiamo sunshade so that he is safe in his pushchair. Compatible with all the configurations of the Limo (bassinet, double, single...), it will be perfect to keep your child in the shade. Equipped with a flexible handle, it can be folded as you wish and thanks to its adapter, it can be attached anywhere on the pushchair. Vidiamo tip: if you have two children on the Limo, remember to attach two parasols to it. One for the child on the main seat and one for the older child on the folding seat. https://www.vidiamo.com/collections/accessoires-limo/products/ombrelle-limo
The anti-UV T-shirt:
So that your child can enjoy swimming in the water, on the beach or by the pool, think about putting on an anti-UV tee-shirt. Protection against sunburn guaranteed! Vidiamo's favourite: Canopea's anti-UV tops, which are cute, stylish and 100% European-made. Certified UPF50+, they block 98% of UVA and UVB rays. https://canopea-paris.com/fr/
Sunglasses:
Think of your child's eyes too. With cute, flexible designs suitable for little hands to handle, Ki and La glasses are perfect. Offering pairs for babies to 12 year olds, they are eco-friendly and affordable. https://www.kietla.fr/shop/lunettes-soleil-enfant/
The hat:
Fundamental to protecting your baby's sensitive skin, a hat for a newborn baby keeps his or her head at the right temperature (in summer and winter!). Many brands offer them, whether they are cotton, UV resistant, waterproof or other.
Anti-mosquito products:
Summer is a magical time of year...except when there are mosquitoes. Put yourself in the shoes of your baby who can't keep them away and help them get rid of them. Please note that it is best not to use products on a child under 30 months old. However, there are alternatives for them. During the night, protect them with a mosquito net, for example. For older children, there are suitable products with a low concentration of DEET (chemical repellent against mosquitoes). These should be preferred. Other natural alternatives such as essential oils (which must be diluted) can also be considered. However, if baby is bitten, disinfect the bite and soothe it with an ice cube (if it is still swollen) or products such as aloe vera, mint and banana peel (yes!!).
The pair of open shoes:
To complete this list of summer essentials, we recommend that you opt for jellyfish shoes. Practical for all types of terrain, they are non-slip, secured by straps and easy to clean. Their openings allow your baby's feet to breathe freely and regulate their temperature. In the water, they are perfect for keeping your baby's feet well protected.
You are now ready to spend a very pleasant summer and especially with a baby who is safe!
