DD is 2.5 and already has a few freckles. There's a tiny one under her eye, one right up on her upper thigh (this was her first one and that patch of skin had never seen the sun before!) and a couple of others now on her arms and legs. She spends a fair bit of time outside and always wears sunscreen and appropriate clothes, but her skin has still gotten a tiny bit darker (still quite white though) and she's got these freckles.

Do I need to worry about them? They're tiny. I suspect it's because she's got my olive skin, she's never even come close to burning but when I look at her legs now they're a bit brown. I go brown quickly with just a bit of sun, even when wearing sunscreen and I have freckles on my arms and legs too, so I'm thinking she's just the same.

But isn't she a bit young for freckles? DS already has darker skin than her naturally so is he going to get even more? Should I just keep them well out of the sun altogether?
