Sun cream

[Brosex]

I accidentally put suncream on my 3 month old without realising I wasn’t meant too I just thought it was best is this going too harm her sorry anxious first time mum

No, it's fine. Don't stress about it.

Is theor a reason that you shouldn’t? Genuinely clueless here.

Strictly speaking they shouldn't be in direct sunlight so shouldn't need any and skin should be covered up. A baby suncream shouldn't hurt on skin that might be exposed

I put sun cream on my 6m I bought it because it said for baby’s and kids so I assumed it was for that purpose. Is there a reason why this is a concern?

I just saw you wasn’t meant too put it on babies under 6m due too chemicals and panicked

She was on the shade but some skin was a little exposed where sun kept changing places so I just did it as a precaution but saw your not meant too use under 6 months

I was too but I was told due too chemicals or allergic reactions

Don’t worry, it’s fine as a one off, especially if she hasn’t had a reaction. Just wash it off in the bath. It’s because babies’ skin is a large percentage of their body, and therefore a lot of chemicals can be potentially absorbed through the skin. But this would be an issue if you were regularly applying sun cream. As a one off, it’s fine.

Don't worry. Sunscreen says over 6 month but I applied earlier too when we were on a holiday.
