Camping!

Hey mamas, we’re thinking of going camping next weekend with our 3 month old. What are the best, and most safe/natural mosquito repellents you recommend?

Hello Bello works amazing! There’s also bug repellent stickers that you can just stick onto the clothing instead of putting any product on the skin 🙂

@Kyndle wow how cool! I never knew the stickers existed. I’ve seen the hello bello brand. Now I want to try both options haha

I used this from Amazon and it worked really well https://www.amazon.com/SALLYEANDER-No-Bite-Cream-Jar/dp/B008J5YBOE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=MHI2R030W3UF&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.-Uc47SwRTZVR1aO2c0FMNiB0iVAmyiyMvSLaNj_n52f_IDux3WiddjhqAoEiw4Ob0Ap-oEgBQCkafLvuEq2ywmEh-B97Hk90bwP22p2vmcxx2TWTfFOZMgfNMAwVAzK6EdFIGbp35Dm5st97f08wLh5xH0AD7KquzcBK2utu9IYGEG_zvDHvQWFBNMMU_5usURHF9ZPpy7KxNoDpWQXY_Q.6aCfYihDk9z_iEE9Q8GTagg-jqBFaUb1uoj15m884go&dib_tag=se&keywords=no+bite+me+bug+repellent+cream&qid=1721001005&sprefix=no+bite%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1

If the weather permits keep their skin covered. We resumed camping at 2 mos and kept baby in a swim full body, zip swimsuit and sprayed her to keep cool. Make sure to bib if drooling, the saliva drying will create a must that attracts insects. Or, wipe/clean frequently. We spray our gear a day before heading out. We hike to our sites and this spray helps because not all campsites are visited enough to reduce inspect populations. We never have an issue with anything crawling, slithering and flying into our tent after using gear spray. stickers mentioned above work pretty well. Good luck and have fun! https://a.co/d/dbOlVgX https://a.co/d/0jgcRLc

Lavender and tea tree is a great natural repellant

Bring a misquote net! They’re light and take up little space and will be the most affective. There are some hiking carriers with a cross bar that help keep the net away from baby’s face. You can get pretty creative with them and you set up!

You can look on ewg for ewg gerified products those are products that have zero ingredients that cause harm. We mainly use barrier clothing and burn incense at our camp site. I plant citronella plants at home so i clip some and bring it with us when we camp and just rub my hands on it and spread the oils on the kids exposed skin. Or i carry lemongrass tea tree blend with me.
