My daughter will be turning 11 months next week. 1. She has couple of mosquito bites since yesterday. Can some one suggest me a baby friendly mosquito repellent that can be used. She has a habit of keeping everyone in the mouth and some times bites her hands as well so want to be careful before using any product.

2. She has small boils like thing on her hands and legs from over a week now. Please suggest on how to take care of them. Some of them are turning into marks on her body.

Thanks!!

hi dear Protect your baby or toddler from mosquito bites
Dress them in long, light coloured, loose fitting clothing that covers their arms and legs.
Use mosquito-proof mesh on doors and windows so mosquitoes can't come inside.
Use mosquito-proof netting over prams and strollers when outside.
