Hi R. congratulations on your baby!! I was told on the subject of sunblock for a infant that there is no sunblock out there for a baby!! The chemicals in any sunblock are harmful to your baby!! The best thing to do for your baby is to keep him in the shade, cover him, and keep his skin cool!! That's what my peditrician recommended to me!! Hope that this helps you out!! Have a good spring and a Happy Easter!!

Most baby sunblocks are fine for children 6 months and older. I just took my 4 month old baby girl to Hawaii and asked the pediatrician what sunblock to use. She suggested something with Australia in the title (I never found it), California Baby, or Weleda. They are all natural, but a little on the pricy side. I went with California Baby (Weleda is hard to find) and it really worked well. Good luck!

I have an 8 month old baby with very sensitive skin, He breaks out with most lotions. The old sun block I have fallen in love with is the Arbonne Baby Sunscreen SPF 30. Its all natural and Vegan approved, love it and no little bumps or zits on my baby!
Let me know and I can find it for you.
Good luck!

Arbonne's Baby Care Sunscreen is SPF 30+. It's great for baby's skin, hypoallergenic, dermatologist and pediatrician tested. It's formulated without mineral oil, petroleum, lanolin, etc. that actually irritate the skin and doesn't allow it to breathe. I don't have any experiences with any other brands. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi R.! I highly recommend Arbonne's Baby Care Sunscreen SPF 30+.
You can protect your baby’s delicate skin with this gentle, water-resistant sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum sun protection. Formulated with SPF 30+, this lotion provides maximum protection for sensitive skin.
Key Ingredients: Oat, aloe and shea butter oils
Skin Types: Baby, children, plus extremely sensitive
One thing I've learned too through Arbonne is that you do not actually ever want to use anything higher than an SPF 30 on any skin type. Anything higher than SPF 30 can actually cause a chemical burn on the skin! Not good, especially for babies' delicate skin!
If you're interested, please feel free to visit my website for samples and to contact me: www.mandyolsen.myarbonne.com. Thanks so much!
Enjoy your baby and the outdoors!
Sincerely,
