How did a three-month-old get sunburned?
Is he red? Blistering? Are you giving him water to prevent dehydration?
Please take him to a doctor.

I agree with Wondergirl... a baby that young should be seen by their doctor, especially since you are unsure if he is OK. Just to add, if you are breastfeeding, you could increase the number of feeds a bit instead of supplementing with water.

Hi,
I have a very sensitive skin due to being in the sun a lot during infancy. I am not a doctor but I read about sunburn here: http://www.sun-protection-and-you.com/sunburn.html
Hope this helped.
