Also baby's skin does not have something called the acid mantle. Acid mantle is responsible for protection against bacteria and other microorganisms. Since the baby's body surface area to weight ratio is more, they are more vulnerable to chemicals. Plus, one cannot trust them! They may find the sunscreen tasty and might have a small meal!
