I have an olive complexion, so I've never had to be super cautious about sunscreen (should be, obviously, but am not). My husband on the other hand, will burn in like 5 minutes of direct sun. Its a totally new world for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-sunburned#post-1653029 Thu, 22 May 2014 18:55:55 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1653029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: wow! That's crazy that she still burned even with sunscreen and a hat! Don't feel bad - you did exactly what you were supposed to! For me, it was a total mom fail on my part haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-sunburned#post-1653018 Thu, 22 May 2014 18:54:53 +0000 Silva 1653018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She got slightly pink on her forearms and cheeks one day this week. I applied sunscreen twice and she was wearing her hat- but we were out for about 20 minutes at noon and I think that did it. I felt HORRIBLE. I don't do mom guilt often- but man, this did me in. It was gone by the next morning, and she didn't seem bothered at all, but I still feel terrible about it. So I just spent a bunch of money on more UPF clothing and sunscreen from amazon. healthy coping mechanism, I know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-sunburned#post-1652993 Thu, 22 May 2014 18:51:27 +0000 lawbee11 1652993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet! But she's still pretty young. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-sunburned#post-1652985 Thu, 22 May 2014 18:50:21 +0000 swedishfish 1652985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but I'm sure a sunburn is inevitable for her at some point with how fair DH and I are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-sunburned#post-1652976 Thu, 22 May 2014 18:49:07 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1652976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine never has... until today. I wasn't even thinking. It hasn't been sunny or warm enough to warrant sun screen, and so it wasn't even on my mind! Today is the nicest day of the year thus far and I didn't even think about it. Poor kid. It looks very light and it doesn't seem to bother him. I feel bad though! </p>
