Sunscreen on the face at what age?
We are leaving for a caribbean cruise on saturday and was wondering if I should put sunblock on DD's face. I use it all over her body over the summer but never on the face. But I was thinking that the caribbean sun is a lot stronger and although she will always be in a hat, maybe I should put some sunblock on her big fat cheeks. Just not sure if she is too young - she is 7 months

I started at 6 months, but I also had a late fall baby and didn't really need it before then.
If I were going to the Carribean, I would rather err on the side of using it a bit ahead of schedule than risking a burn. In the long run, I think the sunburn would be worse for her.

i have read 6 months, but i am sure most peds would say over 4 months is okay if you're going on vacation. 7 months is definitely fine!
