Sun cream - 5 months

[ecossegirl91]

I’m taking my baby abroad for their first holiday in a few weeks where they will be five months old.
baby will of course be kept in the shade most of the time and I have bought uv swimsuits etc
I know suncream is for 6m+ but do you think it would be ok on a 5m old? Like I said shade most of the time but we might paddle with them in the pool are the bottom of their legs and arms would be exposed and would need to be sun creamed.

also, any one used a snooze shade and would you recommend? Thank you!

Yes I’ve used it under 6 months. Mostly on their feet which are tricky to keep completely out of the sun when in the pram unless you stop to fiddle with the parasol literally every time you cross the street. Get a baby specific one and do a little patch test before you go just to make sure they don’t react to it. Snoozeshade enraged mine! They were fine sleeping without anything. But they clearly work well for some babies.
