do you put on sunscreen when you're out for the day

we took LO to the fair today. i smothered her in sunscreen & had the shade all the way down on the city mini- it goes pretty far. i was still paranoid & kept reapplying eventhough we were only there for about 2 hours.  i noticed tons of people there with tiny infants & other children who were not covered or sheltered from the sun in any way. i found this weird. it is 85 degrees here today. 

do you put sunscreen on your child everyday if you are going to be out in the sun?

    Yup.  I slather it on when we leave and every 90 min after both her and myself.

    Yep - now that he's 6 months we put it on whenever he'll be exposed to sun. I still worry about him sucking on his arm/foot/whatever with it on though so try to keep his arms and face shaded in the stroller (we have a City Mini too) so we only have to put on his legs. Then I wash it off his legs when we get home. :) We use the Neutrogena Baby Pure stuff.

    If we're going to be out for any length of time, yes, LO is slathered in sunscreen.  He has very fair skin and since DH and I burn easily, we're assuming he will, too.  If we're just running to the store and he'll only be exposed to the sun for a few minutes, I don't bother with sunscreen, but I do throw a blanket over the car seat.

    If we are spending any time outside ~ yes absolutely! For just day to day errands and things, no.

    if we're going to be outside for more than 10 minutes or so, I absolutely put sunblock on.  running errands - no, she isn't going to get burnt between the car and the store.

    If we're going to be out in the sun for more than a few minutes, yes. Poor DS has my skin and we both burn suuuper easily (he's never actually burned but did turn pink once, despite the sunblock.)

    I like having to put sunblock on him actually, because it reminds me to put it on myself. : P
