Mosquito bite remedy?

jmevol

LO got bitten twice today! I hate mosquitos. The bites are big and red. Just wondering if any if you have put anything on your Lo's to help bug bites heal faster, or just wait it out?

Along the same lines, any recs for baby friendly bug spray?

TIA!

Sorry no remedies for bites but everyone has been telling me to get Avon- Skin So Soft bug spray. I haven't got around to ordering some but I did check it out and saw that it was Deet free. They also make wipes

I couldn't find any here. I've heard lemon juice can help but that's probably an old wives tale.

a little ammonia will take away the itchiness:

I used this when camping in the caribbean, it was recommended by the locals.

I am not sure about using it on a baby...but something to keep in mind for when they are older.

dabbing rubbing alcohol on the bites will also help with the itching.  I have done this for myself, plus if you buy those skeeter sticks that's the main ingredient.
