Sun protection for baby

DLN85 · May 2015

Hi! Does anyone have any good recommendations for preventing baby from getting sunburnt? I keep my baby in the shade, but that's not always possible. I also think he'll be too hot in long sleeves and pants. I'm looking for sun screen recommendations and products (like a canopy maybe?) thanks!

My pediatrician recommended Banana Boat Natural Reflect sunscreen. Or drape a light blanket over baby/car seat/stroller when in direct sun.

There's an app called skin deep. It rates skin care products based on things like hazardous ingredients and how good it works!

I thought i read somewhere babies should not be in direct sunlight until 6 months....

My pediatrician said to use any sunscreen that is zinc based.

I have two peds from different practices and both say zinc based sunblock is much much better than getting burned if you can't keep them out of sunlight

Thanks for the uvskinz suggestion. I bought one for my little guy and am looking forward to using it!
