If you are preparing the bath for the baby, you should use just a third of the cup of oatmeal. Quick oats, slow cooking oats or flavored oats can be used as well. First, put the oatmeal in the grinder and make a fine powder out of it. If the oatmeal is blended right, when you put some of it in a glass of water, it will turn into smooth texture. Place the oatmeal under the running water and use your hands to spread the oatmeal evenly. You should spend 15 minutes in this water with soft tapping by a towel. Remember not to rub the sunburns and do not use hard towels. You should repeat this two times a day. Know that this kind of treatment is effective on mild sunburns, while those more serious and more painful will require different treatment.
