Whats a good sunscreen for a 3 month old

Question

hi, i was wondering what sunscreens you guys use for your little ones, i know all babis have sensitive skin but my daughter gets very bad dermititis, i was wondering if anyone knew a good sunscreen that wouldn't flare it up but stil be effective

Answer 1

I've been told by the doctors at our hospital that sunscreen is not safe for a child under 6 months because of their sensitive skin (it will absorb the chemicals in teh sunscreen). If you read the back of all the baby sunscreens they say to only use on a child 6mos or older. This really sucks I know -- i have a two month old who LOVES going swimming but we can only let him in the pool for 10 or so minutes at a time (with a hat, and full body UV protectant swim suit).  

Answer 2

why used sunscreen? besides, they are just your little ones that doesnt expose to sun often. whats seems to be your problem? do u expose your little one always? u dont wear underpants?.... ~_~"

Answer 3

they say under six months to keep them out of the sun but if you must i used water babies it works great my kids have never had a sunburn

Answer 4

You should be able to find a baby sunscreen for sensitive skin. Make sure it is an SPF of 50 or higher. The best thing to do is to have her covered as much as possible.

Answer 5

water babies, in a pink bottle
