Sunscreen for me?

Question

I've already made a post about a beach trip coming up and I've gotten amazing advice.  I have just thought up a new problem. My son is almost 4 months old. So no sunscreen for him. But i burn real quick. Do I need to use a more sensitive sunscreen because I will be handling him or does it matter? Spray is my favorite but it usually has a much harsher smell.  Any advice would be great. 
Looking for sunscreen for myself. Not using any on baby boy.

Answer

I always just use a kids tear free and string free (meaning it has no alcohol in it) the spray is great just don't use around baby. I apply it then let it soak in. Wash hand etc. Before holding baby. It should dry good in about 15mins if you can have someone else take care of him. Being Florida and you burn easy I would use a 110 spf and reapply every hour to hour n half. Apply before you go out then once in sun do it after that hour or so. 
Once it dries so long as he isn't chewing on you he should be fine exp since you found that awesome swim suit with sleeves for him :)

Answer

I bought neutrogena free and clear for my son, but plan to use it on myself too. I chose it because it has zinc oxide, which does not absorb into the skin and because it is fragrance free.

Answer

Talk to your doctor about baby sunscreen. My son is six months now but at his four month appointment she gave us the go ahead to use sunscreen if we’d be in direct sun because it’s better than baby getting burned. I’ve only used it once and only on his legs since I had him in a long sleeve rash guard and a hat. 
For you, I wouldn’t apply spray sunscreen near baby because of the risk of baby inhaling it but other that I think anything you would normally use on yourself should be just fine!

Answer

I use the Neutrogena pure and free sunscreen on my 9 month old. We are outside in the sun daily and no burns at all!

Answer

I burn super easily and have sensitive skin so I use the same Sun block that I use on my sun. We use ThinkBaby and it works well for us.

Answer

I’m in Florida and live right next to the beach so both my kids have been getting sunscreen since they were like 3 months old.. spf 30 sports advanced.. why can’t you put sunscreen? Even the slightest amount of sun can burn them

Answer

Why are they too young for sunscreen?? Sunscreen is VITAL and the younger they are the more they need it? They can burn in minutes and even though they are mainly kept out of the sun it doesn’t take long at all

Answer

I always put sunscreen on my baby once it became sunny. Shes now 4 and still cake her with sunscreen. So I would just use normal sunscreen on yourself.

Answer

Don’t use spray on babies....I know it easier but you don’t get a good layer and they can burn so much easier.... maybe if you baby tanned easier but better to be safe then sorry... use lotions.... I have a redhead and only use lotions because I’m pale and if I use spray I burn but if I use lotion I don’t. .... I’d die if she was burnt
