Protecting baby from mosquito bites

Summer is on its way, the warm days are here, the sun is shining… and the mosquitoes are out! Much to the misfortune of our little ones' delicate skin. Protecting baby from mosquito bites is no small feat — unless you know a few handy tricks… And since we're generous, we're sharing them with you right away!

Protecting baby from mosquito bites: our natural tips

Here at Maman et Bébé Nature, we champion the natural approach — even against our enemies! So yes, protecting baby from mosquito bites, absolutely — but in the right way!

A mosquito net

Yes, the trick may seem so obvious you might almost overlook it. Yet this simple transparent protective net is both practical and, above all, incredibly effective! We therefore recommend opting for a flexible mosquito net that you can adapt to different surfaces — for example the cot, the car seat, or even the pram!

Suitable clothing

Little shorts are adorable, but they won't protect baby from mosquito bites. In fact, clothing that covers your child's arms and legs will be far more effective. And if it's really hot, choose breathable fabrics, such as linen.

Protective sprays and oils

As the saying goes: prevention is better than cure. Anti-mosquito sprays can be effective as a complement to other precautions.

You can also opt for Apad'pik oil, by the brand NéoBulle. Suitable from 3 months, this product is both protective and soothing.

Plants to the rescue

Nature is truly a tremendous help. Basil, citronella, and geranium are natural repellents against these blood-sucking insects.

Affordable, natural, and attractive, they can be used as decoration in your little one's bedroom! Don't hesitate to explore traditional home remedies as well — you'll find some real gems there too!
