| Although i dont plan to over expose my baby to the sun, we are a very outdoors family, just wondering which sunscreen people would reccomend for a new born baby? |

| Taine was born in January and I asked the same question and was told that NO sunscreen is recommended on babies under 6 months. I asked if it would be okay to use some just in case and Told NO! GET HIM OUT OF TH ESUN. perhaps you could email the companies though and ask them if their products are suitable |

At Andrew's daycare they use the cancer society sunscreen. I don't know if they use it on the babies thou. I would say if you do put any on your baby to make sure it is a high spf one. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I got some stuff called babybaby, its in a green tube, and is ok for bubbas.($15)you can get it on trade me I think. Also (and it is HELL DARE)Dr Hauraushka or however you spell it. Nice and safe and natual nd gentle for baby skins. ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

| I got the kiddies stuff form the supermarket in the spray ellas good with it and it even really stopped her from getting burnt. She snuck her leg out from under the cover over her capsule and if she wasnt wearing suncream she would have had NASTY sunburn. |

We have the nieva stuff at home its green when it comes out of the spray so you can see where you have covered and where you haven't. It rubs in very easily. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I mus find it again, for the weekends. Andrew get covered in sunscreen at daycare so I know he is fine when I pick him up to play outside but the weekends I have to get his dad to put it on him. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

there is one by hawaian tropic that comes in a big pink pump bottles for babies.. we use that, and there is another called toddler milk that comes in a rollon, very handy.. our daycare uses that one. sunscreen isn't recommended for those under 6 months no. cos you are supposed to keep them out of the sun.. but if you want to use some for if you are in the car etc or int he buggy, even with the shade cover on which only cuts out about 60% of sun.. i would choose between those ones. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Just remember to be really careful with extra clothing eg hats/covered arms as well because their skin does burn very very easily. Yes I have seen a 6w old covered in blisters, it was horrible  -------------  |
