Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. if the child is healthy then no need to worry.
all kids — regardless of their skin tone — wear sunscreen with an spf of 30 or higher.
sunscreen can and should be safely used for children 6 months and older.
spf is the measure of how well a sunscreen blocks uvb rays. currently, most dermatologists recommend you have a sunscreen with an spf of at least 30 or higher.
at least two tablespoons of sunscreen, or 1 ounce, should be used to cover all surfaces of the skin, except the eyelids.
there are multiple brand available in india from various good brands and can go for any good brand with
spf > / =30.
after usage you have to see for any sensitivity of the skin otherwise you can change the brand

Jasmine KaurMom of a 9 yr 3 m old boy1 Year agoA. Hello dear parent, we'll would suggest you to kindly putting on creams as much as possible on preterm infant. As his skin is very delicate as an infant. As he will grow older than 1 year of age then you can try and test many things. Good luck and take care
