what are you all using to protect your kids from mosquitos? DD is 7 months olds.  I don't want to use a chemical repellent, she had a skin allergy to Skin So Soft, and the OFF clip only does a half a$$ job and I spend half the time trying to keep her from putting it in her mouth!  Thanks!

    So far I've either clipped the off clipon to the stroller and put dryer sheets in the diaper bag etc, or used those outdoor coils/lantern type things... but I have heard that making a spray with real vanilla extract and water helps.  Might want to look into that.

    1 tbsp PURE vanilla extract with 1 cup water. mix & put in a squirt bottle! WORKS WONDERS!! :)

    I use it on myself also and I haven't gotten bit once!

    vanilla, huh?  So can you just smear it on their face and let it dry?  Sounds yummy and perfect!  Thanks!

    Eucalyptus Oil and Lemon (the brand is Repel and it's all natural).
