I'll probably call/text pedi later this week, but wanted to get input from expert mommies.
We are going to Disney this weekend (tagging along with family - last minute thing, not that babies will enjoy). And reading Jen's post below, I hadn't thought about sunscreen, but I've read that they should be 6 mo before using it on babies.
What do I do? Also, which should I use? I've heard Blue Lizard is great for babies. The canopy on their stroller is huge.
THANKS

Thanks. I just asked pedi and she said none until 6 mo. Hm, not sure what to do. I do have beach bucket hats for them, which I'm taking for sure.
I will take a bottle of Blue Lizard (we use that already) and play it by ear.

Hmmm, I wonder why?! I just read the ingredients on the back of mine - 5% Titanium Dioxide, 10% Zinc Oxide. Triple Paste is 12% Zinc Oxide. You should ask her if you should not use diaper rash creams in the babies since they are under 6 months, LOL. I'm just kidding! If you don't feel comfortable, maybe you can buy UV outfits? At target they have the UV (50+) swim shirts, or BRU and BBB have the UV protective covers that go over the stroller. At least it's February, so the sun's rays are not as strong as summer!

Great idea about the shirts and stroller covers. Thanks.
Per doctor "no sunblock til over 6 mo old bc sensitive skin to ingredients."
I know I am going to hear contradicting opinions from different doctors/professionals, but need to go with our pedi. I know you aren't insulted, but just explaining. : ) Thanks a lot though for the input.

I totally understand, I'm not insulted at all!
