you also need to consider the florida sun infants should not wear sunscreen until they are at least 6 month old , so take care to keep baby covered and out of the sun.

Actually, I believe they are saying it's ok to protect infants under 6 months now. Just don't put it on their hands/arms or anything they may suck on. Check with your doctor first for the latest on this!

Try a Gel [Coppertone was the one I bought spf 30] sunblock they dry fast and don't run into the eyes even on a sweating person!! And we found that it worked 100 x better than creme sunblocks. We didn't get ANY tan!!
We also used Wal-greens spf 30 SPRAY Sunblock. I really liked this one too.

Ok here is my pennies worth of advice on sunblock.
I have 2 red headed children that burn sooooo easy. I have tried them all.
Beware of waterbabies as if by chance it does get in their eyes it will cause the eyes to swell.
Also I found that it does not work that well. JMHO. If your child does not burn that easily I would suggest 30 spf . However babies and children that burn easily 45spf is the only way to go. For this I have to say hands down that THE NOAD 45spf is the best! As it does not wear off that easily (even in the pool) so you have less applying. I usually apply 2x daily once before we leave the house and then again in about 4 hours. Works great and if by chance it does get in thier eyes it will only sting a bit but as soon as you put water on thier eyes the stinging is gone. You can find the NOAD brand at Wal-Mart cost is about 7.97 for a big bottle. Which if you bought any other brand it would cost about double. 15, 30,45 spf are available.
