    For bug repellant, the Bounce dryer sheet in your pocket seems to work well.  It has to be the scented ones, though.

    A sage bug repellant even for babies is Skin So Soft. I don't know where it is at in the store but when I was a newborn my pediatrician recommended it and I still use it. It doesn't smell bad either. I'm not sure about sun block though.

    Sunblock seems to be a big pain to find a 'pregnancy approved' one. From what I read that need to be either zinc oxide or titanium oxide. I went on the prowl this weekend and Whole Foods had a couple but they were like $25 for a tiny tube of the stuff!

    25!?! Yikes. We're going on vacation with family and I already know I'll be staying in our villa or in the shade for the most part of the day ::I hate putting on sunblock so always avoid the sun when I can:: and won't venture out till late afternoon but for the times I go walking around the resort I want to be protected...I'll check out WF. Thanks!

    I *highly* recommend Badger brand sunblock and bug repellant. Badger products are highly rated for low levels of toxic materials and the sunblock is a physical blocker (zinc based) over a chemical product, which is much safer for you and baby.

    https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/browse/sunscreen:+SPF+greater+than+30/ Any of the ones with a 1 or 2 rating are generally pretty darn good.

    Also - WF is good for finding new brands but I guarantee that almost every brand at WF will be at least 15% cheaper on Amazon, if you have time to order online.
