14-month-old baby’s face got burnt after mom applied a sunscreen on her face

 

Rebecca Cannon visited her sister with her 14-month-old daughter, Kyla. When the kids decided to go outside to play, Cannon, 32, wanted to use sunscreen on Kyla, even though it was overcast. Cannon forgot her usual sunscreen, so she borrowed some: Banana Boat Kids Sunscreen Spray SPF 50. Cannon sprayed it in her hands and rubbed some on Kyla's nose and cheeks.

"When it came to having sunscreen on, I thought it was better to have some sunscreen than none at all," Cannon told TODAY.

A few hours later, Kyla's face became red and swollen. The next morning, it was worse.

Cannon took Kyla to where doctors diagnosed her with a second degree burn.

But Cannon couldn't figure out how Kyla received the burn. On top of having the sunscreen, Kyla wore a hat and was covered for much of the day. Plus, the sun didn't seem to cause burns on anyone, including Cannon, who wasn't wearing sunscreen.

"She was the only one who had the sunscreen on and she is the only one who burned," Cannon said.
