Sunscreen for Toddler ?? ... Which brand do you recommend ??

[smiles4u]

Hi all,

I popped into Priceline today ... and was overwhelmed by the large choice of Sunscreen Lotions/Creams/Milks for Toddlers

Which one do you recommend i buy ? ... and Why !!

My daughter is 2.5years old & has fair to medium coloured skin.

Thanks a million for any kind replies

Cheers from Lorelle

Hi Lorelle! Archie has fair skin too and i have found the best sunscreen for him is Sunsense Toddler Milk by Ego, from the Chemist. It is easy to apply and rubs in quickly, is great on his sensitive skin and is okay for me to use too. HTH

I use UV natural from the chemist (but not all chemists) or health food shop. Its preservative & fragrance free & the active ingredient is zinc oxide. It goes on easily enough, but it is a bit sticky.

I have a roll on which is great! Its a Baby & Toddler one thats SPF 30+ (just fragrence free and for delicate skin).. has pooh bear on it.. But the roll on is excellent. I just roll it on DS's arms and legs and rub it in. Nice and small also to fit in the nappy bag.

We use UV Natural here too - he hasn't been burnt yet! (but we have - without it!)

Oh, thanks ELISSA ... that sounds great as i forgot to mention my daughter gets on the very rare occasion slight ezcema !!

(Miss you guys on Baby Buddies ... sounds a bit selfish but i got down a bit with a few having their 2nd babies ... seems it's just happening everywhere i go now those with a child my daughter's age have already given birth to their 2nd child ... & it's just a reminder of how long we have been trying for no#2 baby now - been trying for 16mths ... and i felt a bit out of it with you Mum's there ... i must admit i just thought out of them all you are just the loveliest ... and at times wish i had a friend like you living near by ... keep well & good... and ARCHIE just looks the cutest in his pic, his hair is the same colour as my daughter's ... Fingers crossed for you as i know how much you too would love another bub )

Agree with Widdly: Sunsense Toddler Milk by Ego is far and away the best. It seems to rub in better than some of the others too.

I use Nivea baby and childrens. It sprays on and the bottle goes a lot further than it looks like it would.
