just keep him from itching them, socks on his hands, or trim his nails

I spray the outside of my sons clothes before i put them on him, i am not sure if the spray would irritate his skin or not but better safe then sorry. I also use the off candles and lanterns. If it is not so extremely hot, if he can stand it put him in long sleeves and pants, I like the one piece rompers since they are thin and have minimal openings. Maybe you can find a spray that is special made for babies?

She is on the age while her grownup tooth can't be a techniques away and it might then progressively provide up. Are you softer along with her than your husband ? adult adult males often are not getting as cuddly with puppies as females do, mothering instinct i assume, so in line with probability she is greater careful of attempting this with him, is he greater organization along with her while she does? It seems such as you have already attempted it, yet distracting her with canine chews, toys etc oftentimes helps. tell her off severely while she does bite observed by making use of a small faucet on the nostril if neccesary. she would be able to advance out of it quickly yet do not alow her to think of this is in any respect appropriate.domestic dog practise classes might additionally help yet could be worth going to besides from the self-discipline perspective. desire this helps.

you absolutely cannot use chemicals on a child of this age, his skin will literally drink it in and god knows what that will mean in his future. the best way to keep them off is to keep them away. got standing water near ? get rid of it. don't let water stand for more than 24 hours. mosquitoes breed in water. a thin film of veg. oil on the top of water will prevent mosquito larvae from breathing after they hatch, so if you have a rain barrel or some other open water receptacle, you can try topping it with a quantity of veg. oil but you have to be careful not to let water go to low. best way to keep mosquitoes off your child is with mosquito netting. when my kids were small{we live in swampy area} i took the type of nets used on beds and cut them into jacket, pants, etc
to wear on the outside of their clothes. keep him inside in early morning and evening when skeeters are most active.godbless

Skin-So-Soft by Avon. There are also mosquito repellants available for babies. Calamine lotion is a good medication for treating bites. You can get it in a spray form as well. Band-Aid makes a very good spray for relief of itching, I just can't remember the name of it, but it has calamine lotion in it. Also, Caladryl is very good.
