I have one beautiful baby boy born Jan. 20th 2003!!!!!!!!!! I'm new to this website. Anyways, I was reading a baby magazine yesterday and read something about baby sunscreen being deemed as "infant safe". Does anybody know anything about this? I'm going to the beach in early June and while I don't plan on having Mally out in the sun, I'd like to put something on him just in case! Anybody else hear this or use sunscreen on their baby? Thanks brittany Attached Image -------------------- [IMG]http://www.growthspurts.com/image.asp?w=300&loc=2&image=655542212837.jpg

As for sunscreen, everything that I have read says that you should wait until 6 months to use sunscreen. You might want to ask your Ped though. Your baby should be around 6 months around the time you go to the beach so it might work out nice. Oh, and there is sunscreen that is just for babies. Again, it's nice to meet you and I am looking forward to chattting more! -------------------- Dee Dee , Mommy to: Ashley Marie 9/05/02 Joshua Lee 2/03/00 (Our Angel in Heaven)

Jason is 7 months now, but his ped has been telling me for months, that if we go out in the sun for the day or to the beach sunscreen is definately safe for his skin! I bought baby faces for him. It is spf 50, or something like that! -------------------- ~~~~Edie, Jason 9/23/02, and Emma 11/19/06~~~~ The Administrators of the Parenting Club take trolls and violators of the Terms of Service Agreement seriously.

I would ask your Ped at Mally's next apt. just to be safe. -------------------- Lori & Jim Katelyn Danielle 1-23-01 Makinna Faye 1-16-03
