It seems everyday this week we go out for a walk to the playgrown DS leaves with 2-3 mosquito bites. Yesterday while having some applesauce for lunch he got a bite right on his chin - I guess mosquitos like applesauce! I felt horrible!

I have the bug netting for the stroller, but once were at the playground what can I put on a 5 month old to repell the bugs??

I've been putting After Bite for kids (althought the label says not to use on children under 2 without your DRs approval) and they have been disappearing practically overnight. They don't bother him or itch him (he hasn't complained). I think they bother me more then him.

Can I use a bug repellant on an infant???

This is so annoying!!

Burt's Bees makes an herbal insect repellent that is chemical-free. That's what I use with Abigail.
