When Meredith was very small and in daycare, she had an allergic reaction to the sunscreen they put on her. She had a rash for several days.
She also got that rash the one time I washed her clothes in Tide.
So we've been using ALL Detergent and "baby-formula" sunscreen ever since.
That was a long time ago and I was hoping she would outgrow it. I was thinking about trying to change detergents.
Yesterday at the Bikeathon I put our baby sunscreen on all the kids but forgot to bring it along to Mom & Dad's. The kids were outside all afternoon and Steffi's face was getting red so I borrowed Mom's Coppertone sunscreen to put on the girls.
Mom lotioned up Meredith. She did her face and arms and by the time she got to the legs, Meredith was crying because it was itching her. I took her into the bathroom to wash it off and by the time we got there (5-ft away), her arms were turning red. So I tossed her into the shower. (Luckily, Mom's soap didn't bother her.) We got all the sunscreen washed off and the itching stopped. So she put her filthy clothes back on and went outside again.
Today I will be going to the store to stock back up on the baby sunscreen and I'll make sure I get an extra for the diaper bag.
