Many experts advise against using sunscreens on babies younger than six months. But what are you to do when the sun is shining brightly and no shade's in sight?
One mom came up with a solution: Sunny Sleevez. These are coverings you can slide on baby's arms or legs with any outfit and get 50+SPF.
Sunny Sleevez can be washed & worn over and over without losing the sun protection.
I tried these with my children (ages 4, 2.5 and 10 months old). My 2.5 year old didn't like them but my 4 year old thought they were cool. She wanted to wear them but didn't want to leave them on for more than an hour at a time. So sunscreen was easier for them.
The Sunny Sleevez were a good option for my 10 month old as leg coverings and they looked cute on him as he crawled around. They worked also for arm coverings but he found the need to pull them down all the time... something a smaller baby wouldn't or couldn't do as well. The Sunny Sleevez have indeed kept the sun and sunburns off his legs. I like that you don't have to worry about reapplying sunscreen and over time you could really save quite a bit of money and not have product containers in the landfills. All in all, I'd say a great item to keep in your diaper bag or stroller for trips to the park or for summer vacations.
Sunny Sleevez come in 6 sizes and a bunch of colors and deisngs. You can read more about them at www.SunnySleeveZ.com.
