Sunscreen for 9 month old with eczema?

Hello!

This is my baby girls first summer so I want to take her swimming. She gets very bad eczema. I have to be very careful what I put on her skin as most products give her rashes or make her eczema worse so I’m worried about putting sunscreen on her in case it gives her a rash or flares her eczema up. Do any mums have some recommendations for me please?

We use MooGoo. My daughter has eczema as well. Its thick and hard to put on but hasn’t cause any reactions.

Get on-line and go to http://www.carolineskincare.com.au/

Caroline has some of the most amazing creams for anyone with eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis and other problems. She is usually quite happy to send you some small sample pots so you can try the product before you buy. I know several people who’d almost given up hope until they tried her products, they’re really good.

Banana boat have sunscreens made for babies and for sensitive skin. Always spot check before you go crazy and apply everywhere.
