Are any of you as worried as i am. I am struggling but not able to find a solution. Everyday 4-5 mosquitoes bite my daughter, who is 1 year old. They drink lot of blood. She eats very little. I get concerned that all the blood that is formed everyday is finally drunk by the mosquitoes at the end of the day. This sounds like a joke but I have this concern. Another big concern is related to disease. Now a days many diseases spread because of mosquitoes.
What can I do? I do not want mosquito repellent like Good Night because someone told me that the smell of Good Night is not good for children's health. What can i do? Is my worry reasonable?
Best thing to do is use mosquito Net. I do so for my child. I am not sure about the blood gone but yes diseases are a big big concern.
Apply diluted lavender oil on your child's body. It does help.
Vicks Vaporub repel mosquitoes. And I have found it very effective. You can give it a try.
This seems to be good one I will definitely give it a try. As these mosquitoes are making nights difficult for my son.
My mom says that Basil plants are very good repellent for mosquitoes. Plant a few basil plants and put them around in your house. I have done so and it definitely has some of mosquitoes have benefits, number of mosquitoes have decreased drastically.
