Question: Now that the weather is nice and sunny I have been taking my 3 month old outside. I put a little SPF 50 Waterbabies on her cheeks, arms, and legs and noticed that within 15 minutes her dermatitis was cleared up! Her skin felt so smooth again, like when she was born! Has anyone else had this kind of success with suncreen? What would be making it clear up? Does it act as a good moisturizer?
Answer: Most sunscreen has zinc oxide in it, the same ingredient as diaper rash cream. You should ask her Dr. about this, I was told by my Dr. not to use sunscreen on a baby until they are 6 months old, due to the high amounts of zinc.
