My Dr. says not using sunscreen was the old way of thinking and that its WAY better to use it than to not use it. The benefits outweigh the risks by a long shot. I just purchased the babyganics sunscreen but haven't used it yet.

I got that kind at my shower! I'll ask her doc at her next appointment, that makes sense!

if the uv rating is high enough you can still get burnt in the shade as well! babies sensitive skin will burn even faster

Totally makes sense! I've just been hanging with my babe under the shade but we wanna have some fun in the sun and definitely be protected!!

Anytime we are outside for extended periods of time my little guy has sunscreen on. I refuse to carry the guilt of him being sunburnt and in pain.

If there is shade available we are in it as well. It was 90 degrees today and we were at the lake... I loved the shade lol

Absolutely! I've been hiding out in the shade, but that's no fun!

We put my 2 month old in my parents pool for the first time last night! She loved it! I've just been staying in the shade with her and haven't put any sunscreen on.
