What sun screen can I use on my two month old?

Question

Heading to beach tomorrow, I bought aveeno sunscreen but I read to be used on 6+ months.

Answer

There isn't any kind that is recommended before 6 months. Try looking for SPF clothing to protect baby.

Answer

I would probably try to just take extra precautions and keep baby in a shaded area. I don't know of any product you can use on an infant that small.

Answer

We used Acure Organics at 3 months. We went to Florida, so I wasn't going to not use anything!

Answer

Our pedi said no sun screen ... Keep him covered

Answer

I use kiss my face baby sunscreen. It's gentle and made with good ingredients

Answer

Coconut oil is actually a great natural sun protectant.

Answer

I work for a dermatologist who has given me Elta MD as it can be used younger than 6 months. However I'm not so sure it's carried in stores... she also recommend CeraVe which is carried at Walgreens! Both of these are physical blockers- so baby's skin doesn't absorb any chemicals! Granted this also means it will require a bath, but better than risking skin damage!

You should post pics of Baby's first beach experience! :)

Answer

I don't think it's recommended for babies that young at all.. it's 6 months and up. But I could be wrong
