Sunblock or no? Clicky

Did your pedi say it was ok to use sunblock on LO?[Poll]

Re: Sunblock or no? Clicky

  • My pedi said Neutragena Pure and Free Baby Sunblock was okay to use at any age.

  • Yes.  We are using sunblock, not sunscreen.  Sunblock has either zinc oxide or titanium dioxide as the active ingredient(s).  Sunscreen is a bunch of chemicals I can't spell.  I've used Earth's Best in the past, but I can't find it lately, so now I'm using California Baby (got it at Target).  It's organic, etc., so the chemicals in it are minimal.  DD1 has super sensitive skin, so I had those on hand for her, and now for DD2 as well.

  • My pedi said that yes we could use it on LO.  And per the thread below I decided to use the Neutrogena Pure. Sorry, no clicky, I'm on a Mac.

  • our pedi said it's fine bc our LO doesn't appear to have sensitive skin (takes well to normal bath products and lotions). we're using coppertone water babies SPF 50.

  • My pedi said it was ok as long as you don't use it as the first line of defense. I'm planning on using it very minimally- I don't want to put a lot of chemicals onto baby's skin when she's this little. I'm going to using clothing and shade (umbrella at the beach, etc) to protect her from the sun.
