| So I feel worse than you can imagine, but I think DS who is 8 months old may have got a wee sunburnt on his thigh when playing outside today. I feel sick to my stomach for letting it happen but what can I do about it now? |

No advice really just *hugs* I know it feels awfull when something happens to DS that I think I should have prevented.
(Probably some of the gentler standard adult sunburn remedies - aloe vera, thick moisturisers) ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

*hugs hun. Sometimes these things happen.
I would use aloe vera. Just to soothe the area. It feels awful when these kind of things happen doesnt it. |

Don't feel so bad! I got sunburnt at about 3 days old on a cloudy day at the beach, with a sunhat on, and under the shade!.. Hehe thanks Mum!! (She realised then how easily I get burnt!)
I agree, aloe vera gel! And if its bad maybe a cool facecloth, and instead of a bath tonight just a wipe down! |
