Sunny Days
After a long grey winter the sun is here - and also the need for protection from harmful UV rays!
Funny really, we long for the sun and then when it is here we need protection! And the best solution is to wear a hat - and for total comfort and breathability make it cotton!
Of course, we also have sun protection lotions, sunglasses, umbrellas, and the rest - but what about your little bundle of joy sitting in the stroller or sitting in that sling (baby carrier)?
A lovely cotton sun hat is the best answer, and for many years I have had requests from mums wanting cotton sun hats for their babies from as young as three (3) months, because even though they are not sitting yet, they are being carried by mum or dad in a sling/carrier on chest or back. So obviously sun protection in the form of a soft cotton hat is the perfect solution!
