Sunscreen for babies?

I’m going on holiday next week with a 10 week old and everything I’ve read says not to use sunscreen On under 6 month olds?! I use natural sunscreen for myself which is safe for all ages but it’s only spf 30 and they don’t make any higher . . . Can anyone recommend a sunscreen? Obviously I’ll be keeping him covered and out the sun anyway but I want to use protection as well!

I didn’t use any sun screen for my baby as she had bad eczema so we just used a UV tent and kept her out the sun but I’ve heard childs farm is good. It’s also spf 50.

Hope you have a lovely holiday x
