Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Sunscreen PSA must read!

Repost from skinnursemandee....

Sun exposure is a rather sensitive subject for me as both my parents have been suffering HORRIBLE bouts of skin cancer and have had chunks of skin carved out of their faces.

Please check out this PSA from one of our fellow bumpies...

  • Saw this the other day. I really think it should be made into an article on here. It was so informative & I had no idea that the sunscreen I had bought for DD was completely wrong!

    same with us. and I was thinking about when I was a kid. My parents covered us in the Water babies stuff. They had no idea that it was bad for us. They thought they were doing a good thing by getting the highest SPF and reapplying really often.

  • Thanks so much for posting this.  I'm a little annoyed that I JUST bought Banana Boat for Babies ...cuz it was on sale...but now I see that it may not be a good one to use.  :(  Boo.  I will be on the lookout for the other brands recommended.  DD has very fair skin like her father and I worry about sun exposure every time I bring her outside.  Thx again for thinking to re-post this for those of us who missed it the first time.

  • Thanks for posting this!  Glad to see California Baby is on the list :)
  • Wow, I had no idea about any of that. Thank you so much for re-posting.
  • Thanks for posting!  I had no idea that there were different types of skin protection.  I thought the only thing to look at was the spf.

  • This was good info, thanks for linking.  My mom has skin cancer and is dealing with treatment now.  And at age 27, I had basal cell carcinoma on my chest!  Not exactly scary since it can't metastasize (sp?) like melanoma, but still a good wakeup call and painful to have removed.

    Because of my personal experiences w/ skin cancer I am very careful about sun protection for DS.  In addition to the appropriate sunblock, he will always have a shirt and wide-brimmed hat on outside, at all times.  Even when he's swimming in our pool.  I got him one of those UV protectant swim shirts.  Most of damaging sun exposure is obviously on the face and chest, so those are the areas to be extra vigilant about protecting.  He is already starting to fight me on the hat :), but I deal with the tantrums... no playing outside in the sun without a brimmed hat, end of story.

  • by the way, another good site to check out is www.cosmeticsdatabase.com ... it actually ranks California Baby as the highest of the 4 that she listed. it says that the Neutrogena Pure and Free has a dangerous ingredient.
