    Our ped said no sunscreen or sunblock until at least 6mo, and dermatologist said none of either until 1yr. So, none for now. We try and cover arms, legs, and feet with clothes, and keep a hat and sunglasses on her.

    I used CaliforniaBaby last year when LO was really small.  This year, I'm planning on using the Badger brands based on prices and the current safety ratings that were just published.

    I've used Aveeno, Coppertone Water Babies, & a store brand.  None irratated DSs skin-so that was good since DS had an allergy to J&J products.

    Please don't flame me. FWIW, my bag was one that was chosen for inspection by the TSA on our Florida trip so a lot of the "nice" cosmetics and lotions I had packed for the trip were missing when I got my checked bag back.  The also stole my Dior Show mascara. :( I ended up at a Rite Aid in Florida buying new cosmetics and lotions. Needless to say there wasn't a lot to choose from.

    Blue Lizard - Baby.  It's an Australian brand that we fell in love with a few years ago.  It's pretty much zinc oxide and not a lot of chemicals.  Easy to put on, stays on great, washes off easily with soap and water. And here in Colorado sunblock is serious business because we're so high up it doesn't take long at all to get a burn.  She spent almost all of Saturday and Sunday outside and not a single tan line - stuff works!

    Our ped said no sunscreen or sunblock until at least 6mo, and dermatologist said none of either until 1yr. So, none for now. We try and cover arms, legs, and feet with clothes, and keep a hat and sunglasses on her.  

    Whereas my pedi knows that we live in california and keeping LO outside without sunscreen is unrealistic, and she said that anything sunblock with physical blockers (not chemical ones) was fine at 2 months. And my mom's a derm and stresses how important sunblock is.

    Because no, staying inside for a year was not an option for my family.

    Our ped told us sunscreen was fine at Annabelle's 4 month appointment, I'm not sure if he'd be ok with it sooner but the timing was right with the weather warming up. I agree that staying in (or completely out of the sun) for a year is unrealistic and I think sunscreen is important, especially for fair skinned babies like mine.

    I was told to make sure to find a sunblock, not a sunscreen. My pedi and derm said sunblock is perfectly safe before 6 months. They suggested Blue Lizard, Neutragena Pure and Free (I think, maybe pure and clean?) and California Baby.

    We use Aveeno Baby. We were out in the sun last weekend and I don't burn and DH is Cuban so Jackson has some good skin tone. I had aveeno on him while we were out he wasn't red at all and I had tan lines so I know he was protected. 

     

    We will be outside most of the summer so I am sure I will be gone through multiple bottles.

    My kid has crazy sensitive skin, and so far the only sunblock we have found that doesn't make his eczema flare up is Vanicream, and even that will irritate his face if applied every day (which we found out while on vacation last summer Sad). I just found a face stick made by CeraVe that we are going to try because I have had great luck using CeraVe facial moisturizer on him.

    We live in Phoenix, and not being outside is also impossible. We are outside all of the time. She constantly wears a hat and sunglasses, and is usually under a sunshade or other shade item. When she's not, we try to keep thin clothing over her skin. Our docs are well aware that staying away from the sun, when we basically live on its surface, is impossible. However, they still made those recommendations, and we follow them, and yet continue to go outside constantly. 

    I also know how important sunblock is, growing up as a swimmer in the high altitude desert, and yet I'm choosing to following medical recommendations to wait until after a year, when the benefits will outweigh the dangers.
