So in a weeks time we will go on our first holiday with baby to Rarotonga. Yahoo can't wait.
I know babies are supposed to stay out of the sun, which I will try to do. However, should I still put sun block on her when taking her outside? And which one can you recommend?  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Over summer I used the Mustela baby one on Oli. It was easy to rub in and not greasy at all. His skin is quite sensitive and he didnt have any reaction to it at all.

We used Toddler milk on Lauren when she was just 8 weeks old as she was getting burnt from the glare even though she was under the big gazebo! Far too young to be using sun block on, but it was that or let her get burnt, I by far chose the safer option and put sunscreen on her!
The Toddler Milk worked great and is for sensitive baby skin! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I think they say 6 mths + for sunscreen so Alani should be fine, but as Peachy said, better to wear sunscreen than get burnt even when bub is smaller.
Maya has super-sensitive skin, the only sunscreen she doesn't seem to react to is the Weleda one. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)
