DS's daycare has asked parents to send sunscreen and bug spray for use when the children are outside.
DS is almost 8 months old and puts everything in his mouth (toys, clothes, his hands, his feet, my hands, etc.). On top of that, he has been rubbing his cheeks daily, presumably because he is teething (and drooling like a fountain) . . . and then he puts his hands back in his mouth. And hats are not a good option because DS has learned to rip them off in about ten seconds.
I have found good threads on BBB about sunscreen products generally, but I have concerns about what will stay on and be nontoxic if it gets into his mouth. And what about bug spray? Is there even such a thing as non-toxic bug spray?
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cost is not a big issue, but easy availability (either B&M or on-line) would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance!! :signthankspin:
