Mosquito Repellant

As the summer is approaching what are we using for our infants and toddlers skin to prevent bites?

Yup considering her skin, this is the only one I can use. I've tried others. And the mosquitos here are vicious!

Re: Mosquito Repellant

My mom uses Bath and Body Works' Honeysuckle lotion, but they no longer make it.

Before we went on vacation, I went to Bath and Body Works and asked them for something else, they suggested the Citrus Basil lotion, it naturally repels them. So, I tried it.

On vacation, we put this on every night and didn't have one bite, but the other 10 people in our party were all bitten up. They were BEGGING us for some lotion by the second evening. We have to go get more, that bottle was a hot commodity!

We love that clip on thing - we used it last year and it was great!

We also use Natrapel - comes in spray and wipes.

Better than anything we used. But no not 100% protection. Had to reapply if she was outdoors. We generally kept her in long (but light) stuff to protect her skin. I used three things. California baby for her skin, Avon for her clothes (sprayed it on) and kept those OFF! mosquito candles and fans and lanterns around too! She still got bit, but if I forgot the california baby (which did happen more than once Chat Icon ) oh my GOD did she suffer!

We also became pros at treating the bites.
