    Eczema and sunscreen for baby

    Summer is just around the corner, is there any good sunscreen out there for eczema that wont give out any reactions??? My friend said if its 15 plus not 30 plus, but there is no 15 plus for babies that I can see...

    Thanks.

    DSS suffered really badly with ezcema as a kid, I use to put a layer of sorbalene on 30mins before the sunscreen and i would use a low allergy one (you can get them from the chemist)
    DD hasnt shown signs of eczema yet, but will probaby try and use something that is unlikely to irritate her... the anticancer council has one that is good for sensitive skin too.
    FWIW i wouldnt use a sunscreen that is less than 30+, a burn will dry the skin and make the itching worse.

    I will be watching this thread to see what others are using too

    There are 2 natural organic ones that are great for kids with no nasties in them. One is called Soleo and the other UV Naturals or something like that - I found them at a Health Food shop and online. Good luck!
