A two-year-old child can enjoy the sea - Deník.cz<

Another condition is the child's ability to accept "protective equipment". So mainly sunglasses, applying protective creams and staying under a parasol. "Children's skin is more sensitive than adult skin," warns Milan Kudyn.

With children out of season

This is also why the doctor recommends September or the beginning of October rather than July and August as a suitable date for a seaside holiday. The sun no longer has such power and is therefore less dangerous for children's skin.

In addition, the temperature also drops and with it the temperature differences between the beach and the hotel room. This is probably why the air conditioning will no longer be in operation, which can be dangerous even for an adult, let alone a child.

The rule "with a child to the sea from the age of two" does not apply to babies with atopic eczema, allergies and asthma. "If a child suffers from atopic eczema, allergies or even asthma, I am definitely in favor. The earlier, the better, even in the case of infants, staying by the sea can only be beneficial in such a case," says the pediatrician.

Watch out for dehydration

It goes without saying that the destination should be chosen with the child in mind. The rocky coast is romantic, but parents of a three-year-old child will appreciate the wading pool and gentle sandy beach, or the swimming pool in the hotel complex.

A child also has some advantages when traveling compared to an adult. According to Milan Kudyn, he does not mind the time difference, for example. The biggest risk for a small child when traveling is diarrheal diseases and associated dehydration. Therefore, always have slightly sweetened fruit tea, non-carbonated mineral water or harmless bottled water on hand. Pharmacies also offer medicines for dehydration, ask your pediatrician which of the preparations you can use.

You should have at hand means to treat skin irritated by insect stings or jellyfish stings. Also pack a pillow patch, children's medicine for fever and pain, charcoal or other medicine for diarrhea, and sunscreen with at least factor 25.

However, definitely only visit places where European hygiene standards can be observed.
