Thank you very much for your time.

Wow I love how Nahla has got all of us talking about sun protection for babies. But I think Marsha Cross is thinking about it more than other celebrity parents. Because she and her kids are red heads with very fair skin. They burn very easy in the sun. And Marsha had to deal with that all of her life. So she would be more mindful of sun protection. But like I said. Its good that we are talking about it.

“At most schools in Australia it’s compulsory for children to wear a hat when they are outside in summer.”

I didn’t even think of this but you’re right. It’s especially true of state run schools. I remember when they instituted the “no hat, no play” policy at my primary school. Anyone who forgot their hat had to sit and play under a tree or in the shade. That was so boring and no one forgot their hat very often!

At most schools in Australia it’s compulsory for children to wear a hat when they are outside in summer.

The preschools and childcare centres all have a similar policy and do sunscreen as well.

I think UV protective swimwear and clothing is great. Kids only need 4-5 minutes exposure for vitamin D, plus they can get it through diet as well. If we protect them now and teach them to be safe in the sun, skin cancer rates will hopefully be less in the future. I applaud Marcia Cross for doing the safe thing. There are many companies that sell protective clothing, just make sure it is the real deal, it must be a double weave fabric and stay away from ones that inject chemicals.

I agree with most of the comments. However, it is a known fact that African-Americans DO NOT have the highest incidence of skin cancer. We have a natural protection from the sun. We can get skin cancer but in very, very low numbers. I have no one in my entire family (many generations) nor have I ever heard from numerous friends of any family members who have had skin cancer.

Also for parents that have children that are in school already, do you send your child to school with hats and sunglasses everyday? Because they go outside everyday at school so I’m just wondering.
When my daughter was younger I put sunscreen on her if we were going to be outside all day, and I did try the hats but they usually lasted until we got from the house to the car then they were gone. She has an olive complexion and tans so I don’t really worry about it anymore.
Realisticly I don’t think it’s possible to constantly protect your child from the sun at all times.
For Marcia Cross I kindof understand because she’s a redhead, her twins are probably fair skinned; and I don’t know that for a fact not all redheads kids are fair skinned – my bff sons aren’t, anyways so Marcia probably doesn’t want to take the chance of them getting a sunburn at this young age. Though I have to be honest again, I don’t understand the long sleeves during the summer, but hey their her daughter’s and not mine.

To be perfectly honest I don’t see kids wearing sunglasses nor hats when I go out anywhere. How many of you actually do put sunglasses and hats on your baby or child EVERY time you go out? How come people don’t say anything else about any other celebrity baby that doesn’t have the “protection” that some seem to think that Nahla should have had on?

Since my first born is a redhead, and I have very sensitive skin myself, I started motherhood on a skin conscious note. Both of my kiddos sport hats year round, to the point that it has kind of become their trademark ) People in the neighborhood call them ‘ Cats in the hats” ) I have managed to 5 years of outside, active motherhood with no sunburns; but it has meant that my kids know that every morning we ‘suncreen”, hats stay on, and covering up, with a shade, umbrella, or clothes is always the best way to protect our skin. Really, it has meant ridiculous vigilence, but it has been worth it. Bonus: my kids have an aweseom assortment of hats and glasses that make them even cuter than they already are !
