Protecting Newborn From the Sun

Besides a wide brimmed sun hat, what else do you do to protect baby before they can wear suncreen? Do you put them in long sleeves and long pants? I'm wondering what to do when I have to take my son out of the stroller/car seat... While he's in it, I can keep the canopies closed, but when I take him out, other than the hat and wrapping a blanket around him (I don't want to overheat him), what else can we do?

Thanks!

Re: Protecting Newborn From the Sun

days like yesterday I would never put long sleeves or pants on them. A little sunscreen is better than that. Lukie (4 months) went in the pool yesterday. I stood w my back to the sun holding him, with his hat on and very little sun screen on his arms and cheeks. Limiting the amount of time in the sun is really your best bet
