Dr. Chheda – Six months is when you can finally start putting sunscreen or insect repellent on your baby. Before then, their skin is very thin and they can absorb some harsh chemicals, so you don’t wanna put sunscreen or bug spray on your infants.

You wanna make sure that if you are out in the sun, that they’re shaded. You might wanna put a hat on. If you’re going to the beach, try to get some sort of canopy so that they’re in the shade, or stay indoors.

Most insects come out in the evening time, so just try not to go in the evening time to prevent bug bites. But after six months of age, you can start putting sunscreen (anyone with SPF of at least 30) and bug spray on them. ☀️
