Ask Dr. Mama |
Dr. Mama is better known as Rachel Zahn, MD, a pediatrician and local mom of three kids, ages 20, 18, and 14. All three were born during her medical training, earning her the title. Rachel is also a very active Angels Board member.
Please read Dr. Mama's question:
Dear Dr. Mama,
We're a repeat Angels family, and are now caring for our 3rd foster baby, after adopting the 2nd. We also have an 8-year-old son. Given all this "mom" experience, my question may seem strange, and I'm a bit embarrassed about it.
Our newest baby is the first African-American child we've cared for. Summer's on the way, and I've always been very careful to make sure my little ones are well protected from the sun. I usually apply a good sun block before they go outside to play, and re-apply if we're outside for a longer time.
Should I do the same for our new little guy? Does his skin need the same attention? A neighbor told me that African-American skin doesn't burn - is that true? I want to do the right thing, but I feel silly slathering him with protection he doesn't need.
