There are several basic ways to protect against mosquitoes - these are:

• Lubricate any baby’s things with aromatic products, but it’s best to apply them to the stroller itself. The aroma of lavender will scare away mosquitoes and insects, without fear of side effects.
• If it is a question of protecting babies from mosquitoes at home, the answer is very simple - a regular mosquito net. It will perfectly protect you and your newborn baby from mosquitoes and other similar parasites, even if you live on the first floor, and the house is under the crown of thick trees.

Important! A huge plus - any such mosquito repellent can be given to newborns, since it does not have any direct interaction with the body. At the expense of aromas - the main thing is to choose those that are completely harmless, not allergens.
