how much SPF should I get?
going to the beach 1st time this summer, and I know I've read ppl say sunscreen is super important for baby and also cuz our skin could react weirdly to the sun now...
but do you think a 30 will suffice??? I hate sunscreen to begin with (i know it's bad) but i can't see myself using higher than a 30...
I don't burn unless I'm in the Caribbean and don't wear SPF...
wht do you all think?

Re: how much SPF should I get?
Just found this info online (at FoxBusiness.com):
"...once you hit SPF 30, you’re getting 97% coverage of UVB rays. SPF 40 gives you 97.2% coverage, and SPF 50 gives you 97.3% coverage. If you wanted 100% coverage, you’d basically be rubbing chalk on your face.”
So... yeah, I think SPF 30 covers it!

I'm not positive but I thought sunscreen on an infant was a no-no? I'm due in November so I never checked it out.
