What are you all doing to protect your LO from bug bites? I know I can't really use bug spray yet, but I hate to keep him covered head to toe in 90* weather...thanks!

    My pedi actually just told us at our 4 month appointment that bug spray is safe all the way down to 2 months. Someone else said you can even use DEET if it's less than 30% I think they said. My pedi suggested spraying LO's clothes first, letting them dry then dressing them. Then put the bug spray on your hands and it rub it on LO.

    My Pedi suggested using Skintastic by Off. It has a low amount of DEET in it. She did say to only use it once a day.

    Our pedi said the same thing at our 4 month.

    Mosquitos bring out some serious anger in me.  If one gets in the house I can't do anything else until it is found and violently murdered with a hand or shoe or gun.  I don't care, just KILL ITTTT.

    If/when one bites my child, I might go outta my mind crazy, a la Kelly Bensimon*.
