Sun cream and babies

I double checked with my health visitor on this and she said it was fine to put cream on them at this age (12 week old daughter). It’s stressful as isn’t it 😂😂 x

so much contradictory advice from the internet and the health professionals isn’t there!? just don’t know what to trust sometimes. Thank you! x

I’ve used sun cream on my LG as I was advised by my doctor, he said they’re so sensitive to the sun at this age, I’m sure you’ll be fine lovely, if still worried give your doctors or health visitor a call xx

I got some sun cream for specifically for babies from a chemist x

I’ve used suncream in my little one as we went on holiday when he was 6 weeks and I was so worried about him burning- even though I kept him in the shade 98% of the time! Just made sure I was washing him off when we were home so it wasn’t sat on his skin too long xx

I can’t comment on the sun lotion, but just for info if the windows are closed in the car, she won’t burn as UV doesn’t go through glass :)

omg really?! I never knew this, I always put a muslin over my LG in the car because I worry about her burning 🤦🏻‍♀️.

I don’t think it blocks all UV rays, but majority of them :)

I did and he’s been fine. I’d rather have him protected as well as under shade so he doesn’t burn personally.

I never knew this. I’ve always been worried that my kids will burn so bought the sun visor things for the windows.

The Sun visors are great for keeping the Sun out of their faces.. UV or not the Sun in your face is pretty annoying:) I have sun shades too.

I was advised by my HV that it was ok to occasionally use infant specific suncream but avoid the face and hands to avoid ingestion. Just using it on her feet and legs really if they poke out of the buggy.

It's only the front windscreen of cars that are UV protected, not the door windows xx

I purchased a snooze shade for the pram. It’s been an absolute game changer for keeping baby covered.

I put sun cream on our boy xx
