Please call the doctor. He probably needs something for pain if he is that sunburned.

I think this is something you need to call his dr. about becasue he is so little.
Reply:That%26#039;s terrible... I%26#039;d never let her babysit again, that%26#039;s for sure.


And you should probably check in with your Doctor... sunburns are bad for anyone.
Reply:unless you are using the Aloe vera right from the plant then i suggest that you stop using it as it can actually make burns worse...





the cool baths are a good idea, but i would be taking my child to the doctor as soon as possible to have a burn cream prescribed..





the sun is no joke...
Reply:I was always told to take them to the doctors for sunburn under the age of 6 months because some topical creams can be dangerous as they contain anti-inflammatories which are absorbed through the skin and could be too strong. I%26#039;d go to the urgent care just to be sure and check that what you are putting on is ok.
Reply:Call the doctor. Tanning, to say nothing of burning, is unsafe for adults, not to mention tiny, sensitive baby skin. i%26#039;m sure he%26#039;s just fine and lots of children get sunburns. But if his temperature goes up, keep a very strict eye on it.





I%26#039;d get it checked out just to be sure. Maybe there is something more soothing a doctor can give that will help his tender skin heal faster and not hurt so much.





And next time, make sure you tell your friend to BE MORE CAREFUL. Lots of people are baby dummies lol I used to be until I got a new niece so I can appreciate how these mistakes can be made.
Reply:Take the baby to the ER.Have you taken the babys tempature? Babys can easily get sun poison and a fever is a sign of sun poison.It would be better to let a doctor percribe the baby cream to put on the baby.I`m sure it would be better then the stuff you are using.
Reply:That is horrible. I would never leave my baby with her again. If she doesn%26#039;t know that a baby can get sunburn, then she doesn%26#039;t have very much common sense. I would not want her to care for my baby. Call your pediatrician, they may be able to prescribe something. I put sunscreen on my babies even if we are only out for a short time. Especially when it is overcast. That%26#039;s when there are the most harmful rays. The poor thing, my heart goes out to him.
Reply:Sweet jesus, is that woman an inbecile, who doesn%26#039;t know that you keep babies out of the sun????? If I were you, I would seriously have a major confrontation with that woman!





That said - you need to take your child to see the doctor ASAP. If the sunburn is that bad that is very dangerous on a baby that young. Good luck!
Reply:A baby that age needs to be seen by the doctor ASAP.
Reply:What an outrage! That woman apparently has no common sense! As with many of the others answers, I would get my baby to the ER or Doctor as fast as I could get an appointment or drive the car. How many wet diapers does he have? If fewer than about four he could be dehydrated, so try to get him to take some liquids. Take his temp, and get to the doctor as fast as you can. Do a check of sunburn and babies on the web and see if there are any symptoms that you son has, after you go to the doctor. That woman abused your child by neglect. Anyone with half a brain knows that babies need additional protection in the sun. I would never leave my child with her again. I would also make sure that I put SPF 50+ on my baby before I took him anywhere and give instructions to use the sunscreen every couple hours or so. Good luck, hopefully the doctor can help your little guy recover with a minimum amount of discomfort.
Reply:LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF VITAMIN E CREAM. WHAT A NASTY BABYSITTER, I HOPE SHE NOW KNOWS THAT BABIES CAN GET BURNT.
Reply:Take him to the doctor immediately.
Reply:What a moron. I%26#039;m sorry that happened to your poor baby. If I were you, I%26#039;d get in touch with the pediatrician asap. On the rare occasion I get sunburned, I use aloe vera with lidocaine in it for the pain, but, I don%26#039;t know if that%26#039;s safe on infants, perhaps your doc could tell you. Or, there may be some cream they could prescribe if the burn is severe enough. I hope everything turns out okay and your baby is not left with lasting effects.
