Default Sunscreen - what kind or none at all?

I am concerned about the upcoming summer season. I forgot exactly where I have seen it, but the message still sticks to my mind. The report said that sunscreen in general is bad for babies and toddlers. So, we're not sure to use sunscreen at all. On the other side we do not want to keep our little one inside all summer.

What are you using to protect baby/toddler from the sun?

If you are really considering not to use sunscreen and plan to have your kids out in the sun, I would highly recommend at least UV sunwear. A sunburn is really dangerous for your little one and lots of exposure to the sun sets the stage for skin cancer later on in life. Living healthy is one thing, but you would be putting your child's health at risk.

I would not decide to not use baby sunscreen. Considering what my parents used on us in the late 60's and early 70's - today's stuff is much better and much safer. Sometimes you wonder how we made it through our childhood years with all the "dangers" that we are trying to protect our little ones from today.

We use normal brand name baby sunscreen.
