Best type of mosquito repellent?

J

Hey 👋🏻

I live in an area of Europe where mosquitoes are a real problem. Even now, in early February, they seem to be starting to come back 😢

The only tried and true method my husband and I have ever used, to repel mosquitoes, is a mosquito plug with tablet fitted in. However, I understand these are not safe for babies.

My DD is 3w1d old atm. When the mosquitoes really start returning in force, in May, she’ll be a little bit older. But I want to be prepared. Due to the layout of our bedroom, a net isn’t really the best option for us.

What has worked for you? A carbon dioxide trap? Essential oils? When is it safe to use essential oils around a baby? Can you use those mosquito clothes stickers on a newborn?

Thanks for reading my post.
