Use natural essential oils
Essential oils from plants such as lemongrass, lavender and mint have been shown to be effective in repelling mosquitoes. However, the use of essential oils for infants needs to be very careful.
Dr. Hannah Kopelman, a dermatologist at DermOnDemand (USA), recommends: "Although natural essential oils can help repel mosquitoes, they can cause sensitive skin irritation in infants. Therefore, it should be tested on a small area of skin before widespread use". Reversal
Mousture net
Using a mosquito net is a safe and effective method to protect infants from mosquito bites. Grids can be used to cover cages, carts, and children's sleeping areas, ensuring mosquitoes cannot reach them.
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), using mosquito nets is one of the most effective precautions for young children. Reversal
Protective clothing
Wearing long-sleeved clothes and long pants helps cover the skin, minimizing the risk of mosquito bites. Choose light-colored clothes made from light fabric to keep children comfortable. In addition, you can use clothes that are conditioned with an anti- mosquito patch such as permethrin, but it should be noted that permethrin should not be applied directly to the skin of newborns.

Use natural mosquito repellent products
Some natural mosquito repellent products are specifically designed for infants, such as mosquito repellent clips containing natural essential oils. These products can be attached to a child's car or clothing, helping to repel mosquitoes safely. However, it is necessary to ensure that these products do not come into direct contact with young skin and always monitor the children's reaction when using them. Reversal
Eliminate mosquito breeding sites
Keeping the surrounding environment clean and removing stagnant water helps reduce mosquito reproduction. Make sure that items such as flower pots, buckets and old tires do not contain stagnant water, creating conditions for mosquitoes to grow. Reversal
Protecting infants from mosquito bites by natural methods requires carefulness and understanding. Always consult a doctor or health professional before applying any measure to ensure the safety and effectiveness of children.
