ChristusG Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 This past week my family went to Disney and Legoland. It was cold, sunny weather. I had baby (3 months) covered from head to toe to block out the sun and wind but totally forgot about her chubby lil' cheeks. They got sunburned and I feel horrible. One looks fine now....it's not red anymore at all. But the other has formed a small blister and it opened up last night. There is also a bit of yellow streaks on her cheek around it. It doesn't look terrible and doesn't seem to bother her, but I've never allowed my kids to get a sunburn before....especially one with a blister! I'm very proactive about sun protection. Do I need to do anything? Especially with her being so little? Should she see the doctor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I would keep a close eye on it and take her to a dr if the streaks around it spread, or if it starts to get really red again. Otherwise I think just letting it dry out and heal on it's own is the best bet. Once the blister has healed over a bit I would start putting a small amount of lotion on the cheek for the dryness from teh sunburn but not while the blister is still open and wet.

ChristusG Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Thanks!! I think I'll keep an eye on it since it's not hurting her. I am putting breastmilk on it...it helped with her eye infection so we will see what it does with a blister lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
