Summer time: Helpful tips?

Hi, I thought it would be a good idea to start this. Do any of you ladies have any helpful tips for summer time? Should & Should nots.
Skin & hair Etc Products.

Also a specific question about Sun screens. I know Sun Screen is important, but what brands should we stay away from?


Thanks. :)

There are baby sunscreens, I forgot which brand I used...I think it was Banana Boat, not sure. But make sure it's high SPF I used 50 on Elijah a few weeks ago, and it worked just fine. Not sure about bug spray, if anyone finds out a brand ok for babies please let me know!!~~Not sure what bugs these Koreans have in the summer, but I am sure I don't want any to bite Elijah!

I recently saw a Organic bug repellent which I assume is better because the lack of chemicals.

These products can be a bit pricey, but I'm sure if you look around you can find something within your price range.

I also just found the Organic bug repellent I saw before. I am not sure how effective it is, but here is the link if you are interested

I'm using Ocean Potion SPF 50 Ultra light. It smells great.

You need a high SPF- not sure if there's a sunscreen to steer clear of.

for bug spray, the only thing i have heard OK things about is the avon sunscreen/insect repellant combo.

I am getting a spray sun screen this year.  i got the baby lotion last year and every time I would put it on DS nose, he would rub immediately and it would get in his eyes...every single time!  This year I am getting the spray, spraying it in my hand, and wiping it on his nose and hoping it will dry before he gets to rub.  Also no matter how much I would try I would end up with a glob for him to rub, this will at least not glob.

I am very worried about his scalp this year.  Last year he would wear hats, this year he will not.  I remember spraying some adult sunscreen on his head last year and it got all sticky like hair spray.  Any suggestions...

Are there kids bug sprays?  I have heard bits and pieces about chemicals in them to stay away from.  Anyone know of a good bug spray for babies?
