Beach Baby Blues

My wife and I took our 3 week old son to the beach Saturday. My uncle told me that sunscreen isn't good for a baby's skin so we just sat him out there while we fished and surfed and made love. Well, I don't know how it happened, but he got a little burned on his face and neck and chest and back and legs. The tide must have come and got him a little bit too because he had some saltwater in his ears but we heard you can put some ammonia in his ear and blow it with a straw to help with that but we're still dealing with this sunburn.

My grandma said to let him sip on some whiskey but he's only 3 weeks and not taking a bottle so we had to just drip it in his open mouth while he was crying from the pain of the burn. We're getting pretty desperate here and willing to try anything. We even rubbed a TINY bit of cocaine on his gums and we're praying for that to help.
