| 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. ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

Coppertone waterbabies is safe from a very young age. -------------

There are lots of threads on this topic... see for example http://www.ohbaby.co.nz/Forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21628 - Recommendation for sunblock or http://www.ohbaby.co.nz/Forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20899 - sun block or http://www.ohbaby.co.nz/Forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13974 - can anyone recommend a good sunscreen 
Personally we use and love http://www.babybaby.co.nz/ - 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 |
