Newborn Suncream
Can anyone recommend a brand of suncream you can use from birth? Obviously I will be keeping her in the shade and out of direct sunlight but I would still like to put some suncream on her face to be extra careful. I can't find any online that you can use before 6 months

I didn’t put suncream on my baby until he was 3mths old and we were abroad (then it was only bottoms of arms and feet in case they got caught hanging out of the pram.
I wouldn’t personally a newborn I would just be extremely careful about sun exposure.
We had a sun parasol attached in the pram and a clip on fan
They’re not suitable before 6 months so you probably won’t find any.
We went to Jamaica when our youngest was 9 weeks old kept her out of the sun and if we went in the pool she had a hat and upf sun suit on but her hands and lower legs and face would sometimes still get exposed. At those times I put a bit of child’s farm on those bits and then we would go to the shower and rinse it off and get back in shade so it wasn’t sat in her skin too long because we weren’t in pool for long with her. We had a pram with a full hood on so we didn’t use any kind of shades that cover the pram because they can keep them hotter. I wouldn’t use in this country the sun isn’t as intense until a bit later in the year and only for extreme moments
