Repellent?

Question

my son is 2 months old and has to go out today and mosquitoes are BAD so i need a repellent but i dont know if he can have it on him yet. i heard of avon skin so soft but do u have to order that or can i buy it in stores cuz i need it today!

Answer 1

I suggested to my sister to spray the OUTSIDE of the blanket that he will be in, (not the inside where its on him) Just hold it up and spray it, let it dry and if he is in the blanket then he shouldn't get ate up by the skeeters!!!

But I would just give a quick call to the pediatrician and ask them! the nurse can answer the question for you probably!!

Best of luck!

Answer 2

I would ask your pediatrician.  Usually they recommend waiting until they are around 6mo before using true bug repellent, etc.

We get those bug bracelets for ourselves and the kids and they seem to work... it might still be harsh for newborn/infant skin though.. Best source of info is to ask your pediatrician.  Seriously.

Answer 3

I'd call the Dr. as well.  The Skin so Soft is supposed to be good stuff though.  As for today, as long as you don't leave him laying out like a buffet, I think that you should be able to prevent the majority of the feasting on him.

Answer 4

they have these little braclets at walgreens they go right around the babys ankle so they cant get it in there mouth they work wonders

Answer 5

you can but it in stores

Answer 6

You can rub some sage on his skin.  The skin so soft you have to get from an Avon lady.  She may have it on hand, but if you don't know one, the sage will be a faster fix.

Answer 7

Here's a great site I found about natural misquito repellents.  I have yet to try them myself but couldnt hurt to try.  Also tells you what to avoid that attracts them.  GOOD LUCK!
