Can I use mosquito repellent on a baby this summer? The baby is currently 8 months old. If so, what brand do you recommend?

Yes, you can use mosquito repellent on a baby who is 8 months old. It is recommended to apply it only on exposed skin and clothing, avoiding the hands and face. It is also suggested to apply sunscreen first before applying the mosquito repellent. Mosquito repellents with Icaridin 15 to 20% are recommended, such as those from Baby Owl and Great Outdoors.
