Sunblock for a 3month old???

Is there any kind thats safe to use? Everything I've found says 6months and up. We are going to my cousins house on Sunday for a bbq and I plan on keeping her in the shade, but would feel better if I could find some lotion to put on her just in case. I'm sure people will be carrying her around.

I just babyface I think it is called that. It is at walmart. I put it on Drew when he was like 6 weeks old.

My oldest is so white he's practically clear and his pedi said no sunscreen until six months. Just keep them in the shade, or in a hat and a shirt with sleeves if you're in the sun.

babies r us has some... but the one that i have says "consult a doctor prior to use on a baby younger than 6 months"... so just give the doc a call and see what they suggest.

the only reason they cant use sunscreen that young is because it could give them a rash and the lotion companies dont want to be at fault, so they put 6 months on the bottle which is generally when their skin is stronger. i use neutrogena sensitive skin sunscreen on caden, my grandma uses it and told me its very sensitive,, i tested it on a patch of skin on his leg.. no rash later.. so i started using it to go outside. now were going swimming so ive been using a regular sunscreen... the one with the pic of the little girl with the dog pulling on her diaper.. idk what brand.. its in a pink bottle. but he does great with it.. hes 5 months now. he was 3 months when i used the neutrogena. babies shouldnt be out in the sun long anyways.. but the sunscreen is good if theyre wearing short and a teeshirt and hat and your carrying them around to put some on their legs and arms.. or if you bring them swimming to slap a little on. puta t shirt on her though because their shoulders are usually very sensitive to sun and the shirt will better protect her. For my son i got him a little tight t shirt that is made for the water.. its cute and works great.. they have ones for girls too.. then i put on his hat and some sunscreen on his nose and cheeks, arms, legs and feet.

Here is a clothing line for UV protection in them.

The sun here can be pretty harsh in the summer so I use Banana Boat Baby SPF 50n Sunblock on Ari, shes just turned 6 weeks and I've been using it for a few weeks now, no probs!  

OMG I never thought about an agr thing! I bought and use waterbabies on Emily ... so far nothing.

Thanks girls! I had called her doctor to ask and they gave the standard "you cant use it if says over 6 months" but i see babies out all over the place and they arent sunburnt babies. Sometimes our doctors office annoys me so.... I will look for the kinds you suggested.   and I love the website with the sunprotective clothing. Thats awesome!

I would say just do a patch test first, just to be on the safe side. Alot of things have to be said just to cover peoples asses, you know?
