No sunscreen < 6m: Babies skin needs to breathe & we don't recommend sunscreen at all under 6m. Lathering them up may result in hyperthermia at a time they don't show any symptoms. Use big hats, parasols, umbrellas or just stay out of direct sunlight for any extended period.

Sunscreen: You can use sunscreen on an infant less than 6m of age. Although it is recommended to keep your infant out of the sun. As they have very sensitive skin and can burn very easily. Spf of 30 ok. But keep baby covered. Shade. Long sleeves' long bottoms, hat.
