What will you be using this summer - rash guard or regular swim suit + sunscreen. Last summer we used a regular swimsuit + sunscreen. She never got burnt. I prefer the look of regular baby swimsuits, and I don't mind applying sunscreen, but I'm considering a rash guard for vacation since the sun will be stronger. What do you use? Why?
-
I use a rash guard and sunscreen. DD is very fair.
-
We used a short-sleeved rash guard, sun hat, and sunscreen. It worked really well and kept her cool and covered.
-
Swimsuit and sunscreen. DD will get a little pink just from being warm, but she's got great skin.
We probably should consider a rash guard, but it feels counter-intuitive to me (like she'd be warmer).

Swimsuit and sunscreen

rashguard and sunscreen. my mom got her a one-piece rash guard, but I think I"ll get her a two piece (long sleeved top/diaper) as well. I do have a super cute bathing suit for her, but I figure I"ll use it if we are in the baby pool early in the day or later when the sun isn't directly on her, and we're only out for a little while. I feel like I will inevitably miss something if I'm just doing sunscreen!
-
my lo has started having a meltdown every time i put sunscreen on her, so looks like rashguards will be all I'll use this summer.
-
Rashguard if we will be out for long periods of time, swim suit and sunscreen if it's just for a bit. There are some super cute options for long sleeved rash guards and regular swim suit bottoms for girls!
-
@MamaG: LO wore a long sleeved/long pants (one piece) rash guard in Mexico and he was cool as a cucumber! Ithink the trick is to buy it a bit big so it's not tight/constricting.
-
Last summer we did regular suit and sunscreen. This year I got short sleeve 2 piece rash guards and still using sunscreen. LO is super fair like me and you can never be too safe from the Florida sun it is a killer.
-
Rash guard and sunscreen. Sun protection will always be more important to me than style.
-
I have both depending on what we are doing and how long/when. Beach -rash guard, my sister's pool -swimsuit because there is a fair amount of shade.
-
Rash guard and sunscreen plus a hat. He has fair skin, we live in FL, and we spend a lot of time by the water. It's important to me to keep him covered. I cover myself quite a big now since I spent so many weeks of my youth burned to a crisp. I burn so easily, so I tend to judge his protection on what I need at the time.
-
Rash guard and sunscreen and hat. If we're out early or late or mostly in the shade we do just a bathing suit and sunscreen.
-
Rash guard, sunscreen and hat. DS is very fair skinned.
-
Rash guard, hat, and sunscreen.
-
rash guard (one piece), sunscreen, sunglasses, hat. skin cancer is no fun!
-
Rash guard + sunscreen. I got the CUTEST l/s rashguard + regular bottoms from baby gap.
-
Where do you guys buy cute rash guards and swim diapers? I'm looking to expand to something other than Target!
ETA: oh jeez, just saw Mrs Bee's blog post! Ignore my question!
-
Thanks guys. I think I'll get a rash guard and try it out. She's fair (blonde hair/blue eyes), so I think she may need the protection.
-
Rash guard + sunscreen heh
I got my dd's rash guard/bikini bottom set from Crazy 8 for a good price, and picked up another at a consignment sale but it was Carters brand. Excited to try them out!

Rash guard, sunscreen and hat

We have both options. The long sleeve rash guard is really nice for longer exposure or in and out of the water!
-
Rash guard, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses. We are all very fair with histories of skin problems, so we cover up!
-
Her swimsuit has a short sleeve rash guard top. We pair that with sunscreen and a hat and sunglasses and we are good!
-
We have both options but only one rash guard. So I am going to get another one for when we go to the beach.
-
Rash guard. I don't like using sunscreen on me or DS.
-
@lawbee11: Wait, YOU got something at baby Gap? What?
We won't be at the beach that much, but we have a hand me down rash guard top and swim suit bottom that I plan to use, plus sun screen and a sun hat. C is fair like her daddy (not that I am so dark myself-- I wear higher SPF than DH does). I'll probably get another rash guard, depending how often we go out, so we can alternate.
-
@Foodnerd81: Shocking, isn't it?
-
Rashguard, sunscreen, hat! Xander has very fair skin and if he's anything like his Mama, he probably burns really easily.
-
Rash guard, sunscreen and hat! But I'm pretty sure she has my skin...and I burn even with SPF 1000000. @lawbee11: Doesn't BG have the cutest swimsuits this year?!
-
We always put sunscree/block. And then either a regular bathing suit or rashguard. She was much younger last year so we were only out for like 15-20 minutes at a time. This year I'm looking for a long sleeved rashguard because we'll be out in the backyard swimming for much longer.
