Re: what sun block do u recommend for a baby?

I wouldn't use any - I think there is a minimum age requirement for them.

I use Avon's Skin So Soft as a bug spray for the kids.. it works really good IMO.

as for sunblock, I use any brand with a SPF 45 and over.

Banana boat makes a tear free sunblock great for when your applying it to their faces.

Here's the brands my ped recommends:

Anthelios L#60
Blue Lizard #30
Baby Blue Lizard #30
Neutrogena Heliosol
Ombelle #60
MD Aesthetics Maximum Antioxidant
MD Aesthetics Elite Sunscreen #30
Elta Block #30
Elta Gold UV Facial

However, I was using Aveeno sunblock and had no problems. I will probably buy one off the list when I need it. As for bug spray, I use skin so soft from Avon.

Mine ok'd sunblock and bug spray as soon at 6 weeks old. Better off safe than sorry if you can't stay out of the sun or away from buggy places.

I've used Coppertone babies and Hawaiian Tropic Baby Faces Tender Places

For Bug spray i use OFF Family non aerosol.

I always put it on my hands first then on the baby. Bug spray only on their arms and legs-whatever is exposed.

Both my girls are very sensitive skin and neither get a reaction to any of what i use.
