Recommendations for Sunscreen and Mosquito repellant for baby

[Aligater]

Talking to my pharmacist about baby/childrens sunscreen and she said it is safest to use zink cream I got a clear zink for my 2 not sure about repelant

I use 'Off' on my kids/babies - only because it is the only one that seems to stop sandflies as well. My kids all have horrendous allergic reactions to sandfly bites so I figure that even though it is not ideal for babies, preventing sandfly bites outweighs the risks. We have never had any problems or allergic reactions to it either.

I usually use Banana Boat suncream spray for kids because it only takes a few seconds to apply and they don't protest as much with it. I did use the Banana Boat for baby suncream for a while but found that the spray seemed just as okay.

I always try it on a small patch of their skin first for a day before I put it all over them - usually just inside their elbow because that is fairly sensitive in there and if they are going to react, they would react there. DS has horrible eczema but doesn't react to the repellent or suncream but insect bites and sunburn flare his skin up badly.

Is sunscreen / insect repellant safe to use on little bubbas ie. under 6 months? I can't remember from DS!

My GP recommended for my DD when little the Hamilton Toddler SPF 30+ (pink & white label) for young delicate skin.

DD use to get a bit of eczmna and this product never caused her any irritation whatsoever.

I still buy it for her and get the handy 50ml roll-on lotion, i buy it from Priceline for under $9, it last her a good two Summers

you can get RID with sunscreen. Also, the Cancer Council does a similiar one. I saw them yesterday at Chemist Warehouse
