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?

Hm. Not planning on putting bug spray on her. We use these OFF lanterns and citronella candles that work really well.
Maybe when we go hiking? But even then OFF sells these portable bug repellents that work REALLY well.

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.
-
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.

We used California Baby last year. It seemed to work well. We'll probably continue with that.

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!

following! she's in bed so early it may be a moot point for us.

We use California Baby, I tried bug bands last year and still got bit =/

We tried California Baby last year, and it sucked. 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.
