Protect Babies From Mosquito Bites





Protect Babies From Mosquito Bites - Dress your infant or small child in long sleeves and long pants--even if it's really hot. Choose a light fabric to cover their bare legs and arms. Mosquitoes are attracted to bright colors.

If you have mosquitoes in your house, your children and infants should wear loose long-sleeved pajamas and sleep under a light sheet.

A moving fan may prevent mosquitoes from landing near a crib, but be sure it is not within reach of the baby or small child.

Use an insect screen with fine mesh on windows and doors in the house and tents. Use a mosquito net over beds if mosquitoes cannot be kept out; makesure the net is secure so that a baby cannot get tangled in it. A small net is great for a stroller when you are at outdoor events. Just drape it over the stroller and tuck in the edges. Some strollers even come with an insect net.

Children should never use a DEET concentration over 10%. Beyond this concentration, they can get systemic absorption and be more susceptible to the effects of DEET. Read labels carefully. There are repellents made specifically for infants for purchase in drug stores.

Mosquitoes are an unpleasant nuisance and can ruin an enjoyable summer evening. They also can carry West Nile disease, which could be deadly, especially to an infant. An ounce of prevention is much better than a infant howling with itchy red welts. - by eHow
