What SPF should I use on my baby?
For babies under six months, it is best to keep them out of direct sunlight and use protective clothing instead of sunscreen. For babies older than six months, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Always apply it generously and reapply every two hours, or more frequently if they are swimming or sweating.
Key points:
- Use sunscreen on babies older than six months.
- Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
- Apply sunscreen generously and reapply often.
