🌞 ASK THE EXPERT: Dr. Michelle Chudow, Attending Pediatrician at MWPH Summer is in full swing — and keeping kids safe goes beyond sunscreen! Here are Dr. Chudow’s top tips for summer safety: ☀️ Sun Smarts • Use SPF 30+ broad-spectrum sunscreen — reapply every 2 hrs • Babies under 6 months? Stick to shade + protective clothing 🦟 Bug Safety • Use EPA-approved repellents (DEET up to 30%, picaridin, or lemon eucalyptus*) • Apply after sunscreen, only on exposed skin • Wash off when back inside *Not for kids under 3 💧 Hydration Matters • Encourage water every 20–30 mins when outside • Avoid sugary and caffeinated drinks 🌊 Water Watch • Always supervise kids near water — assign a focused “Water Watcher” • Use life jackets (not floaties!) • Empty kiddie pools, tubs & buckets after use Keep kids safe and summer fun! 💙 #SummerSafety #MWPH #PediatricTips #UVSafety #Hydration #WaterSafety (fb)
