Treating mosquito bites in a 10-month-old baby requires gentle care to relieve itching and reduce discomfort. Here are steps you can take:

1. **Clean the Area**: Wash the affected area gently with mild soap and water to remove any dirt or saliva left by the mosquito.

2. **Apply Cold Compress**: Use a clean, cool (not cold) compress or a clean cloth soaked in cool water to apply to the bite. This can help reduce swelling and alleviate itching.

3. **Calamine Lotion or Anti-Itch Cream**: Apply a small amount of calamine lotion or a pediatrician-approved anti-itch cream to the bite. Make sure the product is suitable for infants and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

4. **Avoid Scratching**: Keep your baby's nails trimmed short to prevent scratching, which can lead to infection.

5. **Monitor for Signs of Infection**: Keep an eye on the bite for any signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, or pus. If you notice these signs, contact your pediatrician.

6. **Comfort Measures**: Offer comfort to your baby through gentle rocking, distraction with toys, or comforting words to help them cope with the discomfort.

7. **Protect from Mosquitoes**: To prevent future mosquito bites, use mosquito nets over cribs or strollers, dress your baby in long-sleeved clothing and pants when outdoors, and use baby-safe mosquito repellents recommended by your pediatrician.

If the mosquito bite appears severe or your baby shows signs of an allergic reaction (such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or lips), seek immediate medical attention.

By following these steps, you can help alleviate your baby's discomfort from mosquito bites and promote healing.
