I talked to my (pretty natural/crunchy) pediatrician about it, and she said she always prefers a non-natural bug spray that works really well to a natural one that's just okay. She would rather not take the risks associated with the mosquito bites. This year we'll probably just spray clothes with something like Off and then use citronella candles or bug bands when possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-bug-spray-does-your-lo-use#post-1635724 Thu, 15 May 2014 09:52:19 +0000 jetsa 1635724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use California Baby, I tried bug bands last year and still got bit =/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-bug-spray-does-your-lo-use#post-1635654 Thu, 15 May 2014 09:39:03 +0000 sorrycharlie 1635654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>following! she's in bed so early it may be a moot point for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-bug-spray-does-your-lo-use#post-1635607 Thu, 15 May 2014 09:27:40 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1635607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year we didn't use any on DS but this year we've bought the kids Bug Bands after I saw Mrs. Cowgirl's post on it :) So far I've just been using them in the morning in our backyard but no bug bites yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-bug-spray-does-your-lo-use#post-1635595 Thu, 15 May 2014 09:24:53 +0000 littlebug 1635595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used California Baby last year. It seemed to work well. We'll probably continue with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-bug-spray-does-your-lo-use#post-1635561 Thu, 15 May 2014 09:12:02 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1635561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I brought Babyganics, Burts Bees and California Baby with us to visit the ILs because I was super paranoid about mosquitos (it is a malarial zone.). Burt's Bees was pretty greasy and seemed to attract bees/wasps during the day. Babyganics was pretty greasy too, but seemed to work well. California Baby was not greasy at all and worked pretty well, but not as well as the Babyganics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-bug-spray-does-your-lo-use#post-1635555 Thu, 15 May 2014 09:09:27 +0000 Boheme 1635555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C has really sensitive skin, so we planted mosquito pots on our back porch (citronella, lemon grass, etc) and I make a bug balm out of coconut oil mixed with a drop of citronella and a drop of lemongrass essential oils. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-bug-spray-does-your-lo-use#post-1635546 Thu, 15 May 2014 09:06:34 +0000 regberadaisy 1635546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hm. Not planning on putting bug spray on her. We use these OFF lanterns and citronella candles that work really well.</p> <p>Maybe when we go hiking? But even then OFF sells these portable bug repellents that work REALLY well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-bug-spray-does-your-lo-use#post-1635541 Thu, 15 May 2014 09:05:03 +0000 Bao 1635541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm looking to buy some bug spray for A but not sure which brand to go with. We bought Burt's Bees last year and it was ok but it felt really greasy to me. Any recommendations? </p>
