Hello ladies. So ftm here and my little man is alittle over 4 months old. Summer is right around the corner and he already loves the outside. But I would like to protect his little skin as much as possible. What brands would you recommend ? What SPF ? The spray the lotion? Thank you!

I'm a smer baby and I'm having a summer baby :) my mom said to just make sure you cover their skin properly clothing wise (ex// hats, SPF clothing, etc) and to keep them in the shade and not have them outside for a long period of time and they should be fine. She said I used to be in my bassinet with a light blanket covering me outside for an hour or so a day. The vitamin D is good for the baby :) good luck!!

Ladyluv is correct. You aren't supposed to use sunblock on infants under 6 months of age. It is recommend that infants under 6 months stay out of the sun. You could talk to your pediatrician and see if there is anything they feel is safe for a younger infant.

I heard you can't use anything until they are 6 months old.....I would ask your pediatrician and make sure!!!!! But that's what I was told..  I'm due in July and was actually going to register for some but got information about it and it wouldn't make any sense since she will be 6 months in January!!!!!
