Baby sunscreen question?

Posted by admin

My son is 2 months old. I love taking him on walks but its getting pretty sunny out these days. Can I put sun screen on him?

My doctor specifically said no sunscreen before 6 months.

I know what you mean about getting sun during walks. I did 2 things, I found a sun canopy extender from target. (I dont remember what it was called, but it is made of black mesh material and snaps on to your canopy.) Old navy sells some baby blankets that are made of the light-weight t-shirt material that I used to cover any exposed body parts. (you can also buy something you put in the wash to make clothing and blankets more UV potective.) Good luck!

    We live in FL. I was told no sunscreen before 6 mo…if it’s too sunny then it’s not a good time for a walk. Start now getting him used to hats. Put thin breathable clothes on him that cover his skin.

    I would ask your doctor first but my doctor said as long as it doesn’t have PABA in it ( which most baby sunscreens don’t ) it should be Ok I think the concern is having a skin reaction to the ingredients bevause so many babies have sensitive skin… You can check out a natural food store to see if they have something natural to substitute until he is older and not so sensitive

    Not until 6 months. You can buy sunscreen protective clothing though.

    Not near his eyes. Keep him covered. My son was in a stoller and was never in the direct sun but he got a sunburn anyway.

    Yes, look for a sunscreen with titanium dioxide in it it is the best. Hawian tropic Baby Faces has always worked for my pale faced kids. It comes in apink bottle altho it costs a little more that generic brands it is worth every penny.
