- Wish I was going to Florida for Christmas (sigh!)

- Obviously, a big beach umbrella is best. Thin cotton cover-ups especially for
- the arms. Over here Nursing Mothers sells a long sleeved cotton T-shirt with
- envelope neck called 'Shady Baby' :-). I've bought two for my little boy this
- Summer. If you go for the bare-bottomed look (well, not *you* but your baby)
- take some thin cotton briefs - baby's bottom skin can get sunburned very
- quickly!

- Jack enjoys the beach but has a limited enjoyment span. After about an hour of
- playing in the sand, going for a paddle etc., he climbs into his pusher to let
- me know he's had enough of that game thankyou.
-
- Just think about it - if you don't have molars that grind together, what's so
- awful about sand in your food anyway?
