 Topic: Sunblock for littlies
Posted: 25 October 2009 at 10:00pm |

As we're rapidly approaching summer and its already getting warmer, I've been thinking about getting some baby sunblock for Campbell. Does anyone have any advice on what age you can start using a baby sunblock from, and what brands are good? I'd really like to be able to get something as natural as possible, that's also good for sensitive skin.

Most baby sunblocks are safe from 6 months, and they all have the age for recommended use on them somewhere. I'll be watching this thread because I'd love to find a natural brand - I go through HEAPS as DD is a red head with super fair skin.

Coppertone waterbabies is safe from a very young age.

There are lots of threads on this topic... see for example Recommendation for sunblock or sun block or can anyone recommend a good sunscreen 
Personally we use and love BabyBaby sunscreen, nice and natural and reasonably priced for the quantity you get.

Oh ill be watching this thread as i have been starting to worry about Rory as i know i burn REALLY easily even on a really cloudy day.
I was just thinking though is there any spray on sunscreen i can use on his head? He has a lot of hair so dont want to rub any in and glog up his hair. Just wondering as i usually get burnt on my head so worried he might be the same and he is very good at always pulling hats off.

Noticed in one of those other threads that there was a piece on baby sunscreens in last year's Dec mag, so I pulled out my copy and had a look. There is a Hum SPF30+ organic moisturiser/sunscreen that looks really good, and at a good price, so I'm going to try that one out.

I use the NATURAL INSTINCT sunscreen spf30+ from some pharmacies as it is free from parabens. Does the trick
