Summer Sun Safety

It wasn’t long ago that we would think nothing of sitting on the beach without sunscreen or worse, covered in baby oil. Sunburns never seemed that dangerous in that they would fade in a day or two and your skin was left with a nice glow.  Our knowledge has changed over the years, and we now know that sun exposure of any kind can be harmful without the proper protection.  The sun’s UV rays can cause damage to the skin in as little as 15 minutes.  Prolonged damage from time in the sun is a setup for skin cancer.

Dr. Renda’s Remedies For Common Breastfeeding Issues/ Concerns
