You may be able to try Avon Skin-so-Soft. Just apply very lightly to exposed areas or even just wipe it on the clothes at first and see what that do. BUT, I would contact Avon and/or a Doctor to be sure it safe for Baby.


Neosporin on the Bites just very, very little, just enough to make it wet, you not have to Glob everything.What is the best mosquito repellent to use on a 20-month old?
Repellents that contain the ingredient citronella are generally a safe choice for children. Keep in mind that citronella products and other natural formulas work for only about two hours (or less) and then will need to be reapplied. Products containing DEET work longer and are somewhat stronger, but are not approved for infants or very young children. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that even older children not use insect repellents that contain more than 10 percent DEET. However, DEET-based repellents are still acknowledged as the best alternative when serious insect protection is required 鈥?for example, if you're traveling in an area where insect-borne diseases such as malaria are prevalent. Dressing your children in light-colored clothing that covers as much of the skin surface as possible will also help protect them from mosquitoes, flies, and other biting insects.
Skin-So-Soft is the best. It really works. You will like to use it for yourself too, because it smells good and it makes your skin 'so soft'!
something all natral try the natral off it works fine but i dont think your sopoused to use those on kids till their 2 years old
Skin so Soft by Avon...definitely!! Or if you're leery about spraying things on your kids, off has a mosquito coil you can use and it repells insects within 10 ft from it. I use them all the time for camping and on the deck of my house. We live on a lake so mosquitoes are everywhere. I don't like spraying down my kids every evening when they're playing outside, so I use the coils, and they work great. As for helping them heal quicker, take a cotton ball and put rubbing alcohol on it. It does sting so you'll have to blow on it. But it'll take away the itch and the bite will go down by the next day. If they don't itch it open that is. You have to do it almost immediately after the bite, or when you first notice it.
