Sunscreen

hjs2013

So now that warmer weather is finally starting to show her face, I was wondering what kind of sunscreen do you put on your LO? I plan on being outside with my DD as much as possible before Missouri's lovely 100 degree days along with 100% humidity show up. FTM so I'm not sure if one kind is better than the others. (ie: no harsh chemicals, etc)

There are some pretty good websites out there that list which ones are good. If I remember correctly it was a doctor oz show last summer that sparked my attention. I use a lotion because the sprays are likely to be inhaled and the chemicals are bad for the lungs. I won't even use the sprays for me anymore. I also use one that only has zinc and titanium oxide. They act as a barrier on the skin rather than getting absorbed by the skin. Good luck.

We use Badger or nothing. I try to keep her in the shade with a bonnet on in the mornings.

We use Earth Mama Angel Baby. I wanted to wait until he was 6 months old to use sunscreen so last year he accidentally got a little tan on the half of his legs that stuck out from under the stroller's sunshade.

We use Badger and it's FSA covered...and since we always fail to plan to spend this, it's one of the things I buy at the end of the year.

We use babyganics, too. FYI, ewg has a great app called skin deep that allows you to check product safety on the go. Even has a barcode scanner! Comes in handy in target aisles

We use Babyganics too. Love that it's natural and affordable.

We use Babyganics if we know DD's going to be out for a long time or in direct sun, otherwise, I don't use anything for her but a hat and a nice shady spot.

I have Josie Maran (from Sephora). Have not tried to put it on LO's face yet.
