Baby Beach Essentials

 

Summer is the perfect time to take your baby on a trip to the beach. However, it can be difficult to know what exactly you will need for your little one’s adventure. For many parents they choose not to go with babies because packing for the beach seems overwhelming.

This blog post will explore everything from sun protection and clothing, to toys and snacks that are great for babies at the beach!

Reusable Swim Diapers

Swim diapers are a must for beach time if you baby is going to be swimming. You can find the disposable ones in any baby aisle. There are a few different types, so read the label to make sure you get one that will work for your child. They are great for keeping messes in!

I love these reusable ones because they are way more comfortable and adorable than disposable swim diapers.

Water shoes

Bring water shoes if your little one walks at all and wants to play in the waves; this helps keep their feet from getting cut up by rocks under the sand or scraped by other surfaces they walk over while playing.

Baby Carriers/ Beach Wagon

Make use of a wagon or baby carrier to get down to the beach while holding other things. It is hard to get everything from the car to the beach while holding a baby. If they are very young a baby carrier is your best idea. If they can sit and hold on a wagon for the beach is even better.

If you have never tried a wagon at the beach you will love it!

Water/ formula/breastmilk

Babies can be easily dehydrated so make sure you have liquids for them in whatever form they take them.

If you’re breastfeeding then this is an essential: a nursing cover! This one is cute with plenty of coverage while also being breathable and a way to get out of the sun yourself!

Baby powder

This is my favorite trick for getting sand off of wet little toes. Add a handful of baby powder to their feet and brush it and the sand off together!

 

A change of clothes for the car ride home.

It can be uncomfortable for a little one to sit in wet clothes or sandy clothes, make sure to change them and clean them off before getting back in the car.

Sunscreen

Most pediatricians suggest waiting until a baby is between 4-6 months before they wear sunscreen. Consult with your pediatrician before using.

This sunscreen is one of the best and easiest to apply to wiggly babies.
