MrsAk Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Hi everyone,Now obviously we are not going sunbathing but I wanted to know if I can/should use suncream on my 6 week old. We will be staying out of the sun as much as possible but was just thinking about what to do when we are out and about. If so does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you very much!

The Nappy Lady Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Would go & ask in Health Matters on Lordship Lane, they have paraben free creams, best to cover up & stay in shade if you can when they are that young though to be honest (which I know you said you'd be doing).

jennyh Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I got a suncream from health matters when mine was about the same age, is organic bt can't remember the name of it! They should be able to tell you, there are a couple of different ones I think.

jennyh Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 My daughter hates the sun so we always try and stay in the shade too, but when out and about I like to have her covered in cream in case a little foot pokes out from under the muslin! On another note - Biff in Dulwich Village sells fantastic sun hats for newborns, I was looking for something that would fit and stay on for a long time, they are UVA/UVB protective and elasticated so they don't fall off.

Saffron Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 You might be better off using a zinc-based sunscreen, rather than a 'chemical' sunscreen. xx Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18076-suncream-for-newborns/#findComment-449290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
