Hey,

My son will be 14 months on 11 July and every time we take him outside mosquitoes eat him up. My husband took him out this afternoon and when they came back in, he had six bites on himself. Can anybody recommend a type of spray that will work so that my poor baby does not look so pitiful?

What can I do next?

I just love the Avon Skin so Soft bug spray with pericardin. It's even safe for pregnant women. I just bought 10 cans from the last campain because it was on sale for 4.99 (usually $10)

you can buy the spray at babies r us, in a green bottle, about $7.99. off the top of my head i cant think of the brand. i had the same problem so i called 22nurse and that is what she recomended. it is deet free. before that i used the misquito coils around where we were and sprayed his clothes with off. my son just turned 1 on 6-6 and did not have any problems with that stuff...

Hi R.~

I use kids Herbal Armor Insect Repellent by All Terrain. You can buy it at Whole Foods...it is a little pricey but does not contain Deet and works really well.

R.,
Avon used to have an oil type spray on called Skin so soft. I used that on my kids all the time as well as myself. It's been a few years and I'm not sure if they still have it or not but you could check with them.

I've also heard that you can take a dryer sheet and tuck it in the back of the pants pocket and let it hang out a bit and that will keep away misquitoes.
