Sunscreen?

At what age did your dr tell you to put sunscreen on dc? I thought I read 6m somewhere.... However dr told me yesterday that I should start. Dd is 2m.

Recommendations for safe sunscreen?!

Sunscreen?

DD's Dr just told me at her 3 month check up to try to keep her out of direct sun if possible and keep a hat on her but if we were to be out put sunblock on her. The risks of exposure to the sun outweigh the risks from the sunblock IMO

Sunscreen?

DS was born mid May, we didn't use sunscreen that first summer. We just had a hat on him, and left the cover on over his carseat whenever we were outside for long periods of time. Last spring we started using sunscreen, we liked California Baby & Badger.

This.... Just don't use it near their eyes, mouth, or on their hands!

Wow, so many different thoughts on this. I'll look into California baby for the summer when she's a bit older.
