Don't Fry Baby!

4/17/2013

Let me preface this entry by saying I have not yet tried any of these products yet, and the companies have not asked me to promote them, nor do they know that I am doing so. These are just some products or companies I've come across in my search to protect my little one from the harsh rays of his first summer without slathering him with chemicals or keeping him tethered to my sofa indoors all season! Check 'em out if you're so inclined, and please leave a comment if you have tried (and recommend or don't recommend) any of these!

Picture
Sunny Sleevez - UPF 50+ sleeves - much cooler than long sleeves, and quick to pull off when kiddie comes inside and throw on again before heading back outside. $14.99 for a pair.

Picture
Coolibar - Sun protection gear for the whole family, though it looks like from 6 months for babies. I'm thinking about this one piece UPF 50+ romper, but I'm not sure if we'll be going to the beach or pool this summer, and $40 (plus shipping?) is a bit much for "maybe". And also, seems like it'd be hot.

Picture
Baby Banz - UPF 50+ sunglasses, hats, swimwear, etc. $17-20 for a pair of baby sunglasses, about 3 times more than Target, which do say "UV Protection" but don't say what level, so...you get what you pay for?

Picture
UV Skinz - UPF 50+ outdoor and swimwear products for the whole family.

Picture
Tickle Time - 100% all natural mineral powder UVA/UVB protection, lasts all day and is water resistant. I saw this on "The Doctor's" and looks very interesting!

Picture
Badger All Natural Sunscreen - UVA/UVB water resistant, comes in scented and unscented.

Picture
Poofy Organics "The" Sunscreen - effective yet toxic-free at 22.5% zinc oxide. Free of chemical fragrances, parabens, and nanoparticles.

Picture
California Baby Sunscreen

Honestly sweetheart I was going to recommend bumpers I used it with all my children and they are all okay just have to be aware of them. This is the easiest thing for babies.

Actually, I haven’t tried any of those for my baby yet but I think I’m going to try one if in times I may badly need those. But for me, I’m really chemical-sensitive mom. I discourage using lotions and/or sunscreens. I rather prefer for clothing and sunglasses for protection. I mean, it is just that my baby might be sensitive with the chemical content of those lotions.
