We brought our DD to the Bahamas when she was 7 months.

It was a great experience - it is a perfect age to travel with them!

We went to Aruba when ds was 5 months, we used sunblock before and after every time we went in the water, he wore a hat and water shirt in the pools too. We didn't use bug spray b/c we didn't need to.

We went to Hawaii when DS was 4 months old we used sun block and the wet suits that are SPF like the rash guards. He was fine- I would not use bug spray unless you discuss it with a Dr. Most of them say not to use on kids they are really dangerous!
