Arlo, Staying cool on the beach

I recently shared a list of 5 essentials for taking little ones to the beach here on the blog - but this week we conquered taking our 5 week old to the seashore. The needs of a 6 month old and a newborn are vastly different and it took some extra planning and considerations to ensure that our son stayed comfortable and protected while we enjoyed our time on the beach. I worried about everything from keeping him completely out of the sun, to protecting him from sand and heat.  We enjoyed a week of taking Arlo out on the beach and these tricks helped us make his time and ours more enjoyable.

5 tips for taking a newborn to the beach

A Covered Beach Shelter with a Floor

A good beach shade is a must. Look for one that has a floor to it to protect the baby from sand. While a beach umbrella works great to protect adults from the sun, an open sided beach shade like the one we used this week is better suited to keeping infants sun and sand free on the beach.
