My wee angel is 6 months now and I believe we can use suntan lotion on her now. Does anyone know which is the best for a baby with sensitive skin? Thanks

you are much better off keeping her covered with clothes than using sunscreen. I think Toddler milk i supposed to be okay for babies that young though. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

I had a really great (as natural as you can get) baby sunscreen which cost the earth and frustratingly isn't made anymore. So I did a bit of research and came across "UV Natural Sunscreen Baby SPF30+" I only used it a couple of times at the end of last summer but it does seem nice and the reviews are pretty good and it's safe for newborns apparently. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

plunket advised us to try a small patch the day before we would need it incase of a reaction. |

we use 'skinnies' %20" rel="nofollow - www.skinnies.co.nz . Or try an organics shop. Saying that however, we kept ours pretty much out of the sun for their first summers, so they didn't have the issue till over 1yr. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Quintessentials Natural Sunscreen is formulated by a naturopath, and is paraben free, nanoparticle free and petrochemical free, it's what we use and the Ecostore is pretty good too -------------    Jan '13

| We use La'Bonic which is an NZ made organic sun block - it's suitable for all of us, including our little boy... OhBaby have also done a review on it through their Community pages... |
