I made caipirinhas last summer and forgot to wash my hands before going back to the pool and got horrible blisters where the lemon juice had ran down my hands and between my fingers. It was horrible. I can't imagine a baby with those blisters on her scalp.

You must slather your child in sunscreen (including ears and behind the neck) or make them wear a rash guard and sun hat if they're going to be out in the sun.

Children can die from severe sun exposure they dehydrate very easily. Please talk to your pediatrician.

Thank you for sharing your experience. That alone is enough to make me not try it. I absolutely do not want to do anything that could harm her.

I'm glad I could help.

It was so painful I don't even let my children drink lemonade out in the sun without washing their face with water afterwards scared they'll get burns in case they have drips of the lemon juice on their face.

Wait, don't you have some disease or something

So what?

So isn't it likely that the effects of lemon juice would be harsher for you? Because I have certainly never experienced blistering after drinking lemonade, or even after making limoncello.

The problem is pure fresh lemon juice and sun exposure.
