Is it safe to use sunscreen on babies?

For babies younger than 6 months, it's best to avoid direct sunlight and use clothing and shade as the primary forms of protection. If sun exposure cannot be avoided, a small amount of mineral-based sunscreen (with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) can be applied to exposed areas like the face and back of the hands. For babies over 6 months, sunscreen is recommended, but always choose formulas suitable for sensitive skin and consult with a pediatrician for advice.
