Bug Spray?

What bug spray do you have for you LO?  When we are up at our family cottage, it doesn't matter what time of day it is, the mosquitos are out.  My mom found a "recipe" for homemade spray...1/3c apple cider veingar, 1/3c witch hazel and a few drops of citronella oil.  Not sure if how I feel about putting citronella on Evie???  I know the spray should not contain deet, but I would love a brand recomendation.  TIA ladies!

  • Avon Skin So Soft. I use the combo sunscreen/bug repellent. You can also spary Listerine around the area you're in (on the deck/patio). You could also use a dryer sheet and rub it on the legs of her shorts, sleeves of her shirts, the collar of her shirt, and her socks.

  • I still have some Burt's Bees left over from last summer.

    I love the listerine idea though...I must try that. 

  • I am so confused and unsure on this that I haven't bought anything. I'd prefer the all natural route, but have heard some things still may not be good on LOs despite being all natural like certain oils and stuff. My pedi said DEET is ok. I checked out the regular Avon SSS and their sunscreen with bug repellant which has Picardin in it. I just don't know what to do!!!!!!
