Can I use sunscreen on my little one?
Thanks to Brenda from CA where the sun is always shining! The answer is absolutely! I know many of the sunscreen bottles say not to use the product in children under 6 months but that doesn’t mean it’s not safe. The smaller the kid, the more coverage (hats and loose long sleeves and pants) we’d prefer and strollers should be parked in the shade. However, a little sunscreen on the parts you can’t cover, such as the backs of hands, foot, and tips of ears is a very good idea. Older kids should be completely smeared in the stuff. Minimum SPF 15 please and reapply after swimming or sweaty play.

"WHAT I LIKED: This book is written in a funny, down to earth way that doesn't make you feel like an idiot. I really would have appreciated something like this when my kids were really little and I freaked out over everything they put in their mouths. It has a scenario/question and answer format, with clear answers on when not to panic and when to call 911."
