bug repellent

My girls are 9 months old 7 months corrected what do you all use for bug repellent??

 

I'm curious to see some answers to this as well. I think you can use the off stuff, but I'd have to check the can label to be sure. However, the Avon skin so soft might be a good option. I'm nervous about putting chemicals on my babies' skin. If anyone has any natural things that work, I'd love to hear.

 

We haven't used any bug repellent yet either, but I'm glad you asked the question because our boys will need something this summer when they are outside. I did some googling and came across California Baby and Burt's Bees brand bug repellent. There are other makers of natural repellents too, but those seem to be the the big name brands.

 

I use strong stuff - with deet and everything (although not 100% like I use on myself). The skeeters are strong here and my pedi's opinion is that it's better to use deet than to get west nile ... I tried Skin So Soft last week and my babies got CHEWED UP (20+ bites on each - face, head and hands - jammies covered everything else). We are having work done on our house at the moment and the contractors are not super conscientious about closing the doors. Ugh.

 

Avon skin so soft. It is amazing how well it works. They make it as a bug repellent.
