Sunscreen

What sunscreen brand/type are you using for LO, and why did you choose it? I am looking for a product that's more natural and gentle on the baby's skin.

    Pedi recommended using Neutrogena when my 5 year old was a baby so that's what we've been using ever since. He was a preemie and has pretty sensitive skin and this is what works for him and now DD.

    We used coppertone 70 on LO for the first time yesterday and it seemed to work pretty good. Her face was a little pink but that was bc I didn't put enough on her trying to avoid getting it in her eyes. Ill have to get a stick for face applications. No skin irritation so far. We've always used coppertone for us so that's why we started it for her.

    Aveeno sensitive baby it was the easiest to find with physical blockers. (Regular Aveeno baby uses chemical blockers).

    We have a mish mash.  For Q we have Babyganics and Neutrogena, both mineral sunblocks.  For Aiden we try to use the sunblock as well but we also have spray sunscreen because sometimes I have to take ease over best if he's on the run :)

    Neutrogena pure baby for body and aveeno baby face stick for face. Agree with @elmoali‌ that we keep a spray for ds1 as well!

    Seventh generation makes a baby sunblock that's rated zero on the ewg database. It smells really good and seems to work fine. It does take a bit of rubbing in, but I feel like all sunblocks do.

    I also bought an aveeno baby face stick because I was worried about putting sunblock on LO's face, but I've found that if I apply it while he's breastfeeding, it's cake with either the stick or the liquid stuff.

    We use babyganics. It came highly recommended. We originally used Aveeno but it gave DD a rash,

    Thanks everyone and sorry if this was a repeat from a few weeks ago! I forgot to check if this was asked recently.
