    I'm not using any special sunscreen. Honestly didn't even think about it. I think I'm using a 50spf sport from Coppertone or one of those name brands. 

    ETA: I looked and I've been using Banana Boat Sport Mineral Enriched sunscreen (SPF 50). From what I've just read mineral is better than chemical and you should stay away from oxybenzone as an ingredient.

    I also had no idea it mattered.  I use coppertone sport for my body and neutrogena for my face sunscreen.  I swim outdoors for exercise 4x a week so use it often.  I just checked the bottle and it doesn’t have a pregnancy warning or anything so I assume it’s safe?  Curious others thoughts.

    I think Aveeno and Copperfield make a mineral sunscreen. That's what I've been using on my son and myself when we are outside in the sun.

    Oops. Never thought of this. I use the Target generic or whichever part bottle I find in my house. We use a lot of sunscreen 😅

    Baby sunscreen maybe. Of its sensitibe enough for baby it shoukd be fine for us too. At least that's my logic.

    I use babyganics because that is what I use on my kids. I figure if it safe for a 6 month old, it is okay for me.
