Can I use kids sun cream on baby?

I use nivea kids spf 50 on my kids. My baby is 7mo, I’ve kept him out of the sun and used the kids one on him twice, I’ve now noticed they do a specific baby one, also spf 50? Should I get that start using that on him instead of the kids one or is the kids one ok for him?

Unless you’ve noticed the baby’s skin reacting to the cream I’d just use the kids one. Can’t think why you shouldn’t really unless they’re more sensitive.

I would have thought the kids one is fine, especially as you've used it twice without a reaction (I assume you would have mentioned).

The sinic in me suspects it's exactly the same, but by putting it in different bottles, they will pressure people into buying twice as much, half of which doesn't get used before it goes out of date or is lost.

@Smartiepants79 @Sprogonthetyne I’m thinking the same. He had no reaction when I used it. I don’t remember ever using a specific baby one on my eldest either

Would suspect the baby sun cream is a marketing ploy!

I used to just buy factor 50 and use it for adults, kids and babies tbh! It's likely just the same stuff.

Yes it will be fine, if no reaction continue using.

We all use the same factor 50 here (currently the Aldi kids one) - I'm not buying separate sun creams.
