Bug Spray for LO

Does anyone use bug spray on their LO? If so what age? And which one?

Re: Bug Spray for LO

  • I haven't used it on LO yet but have a bottle of the California baby bug spray based on others recommendations. 

    I asked her pedi about this and he said that you don't want anything with more than 20% deet.  He said the closer to 20%, the better it will work.  He also said that lo MUST get a bath on days when bug spray is applied.

  • We do.  We use the family version of Cutter and Off.  I spray the stroller if he's in it.  I just am really careful about his face and hands.  Oh, he's 17m, and I have an older one too who is over 4yr.

  • We also so California Baby Bug Spray and it works great. You just have to make sure to shake it really well before spraying.

  • Our pediatrician said we can use anything with 30% deet or less, so I just use the regular Off spray. Mosquitos love me, and the "family" kind of bugspray doesn't really work for me. I have to use the stuff that smells bad!

  • We sprayed california baby down his back and used a bug band last weekend while camping. He didn't get a single bite.

    What is a bug band?
