Titanium dioxide has 2 main issues:
1. It only blocks UVB, not UVA. So you have to either include Zinc (UVA / UVB) or a chemical (the UVA ones have the highest safety concerns and are on the way out.) So you are left with having to formulate with Zinc, by which point it is easier just to use zinc that protects against UVA and UVB
2. Titanium Dioxide powder is a suspected carcinogen and has been linked to stomach cancer. Ruling it out for baby sunscreens and calling into question if as a company you really want to be investing in your formulations including titanium dioxide. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190513123017.htm

California listed Titanium Dioxide as a P65 Carcinogen and were trying to ban all cosmetics with the ingredient, but over 100 manufacturers who use Titanium Dioxide appealed and had the decision overturned in 2015. There are real questions on how long Titanium Dioxide has to go and it's just a matter of time until another jurisdiction takes aim at it.
