In Canada, there are no recommended insect repellents for babies under 6 months old. It is best to use physical protection like long and light-colored clothing for them. For breastfeeding mothers, it is safe to use products containing Icaridin at a concentration of 20% or less, such as PiActive. These are often less irritating than products with DEET. However, it is recommended to apply them a maximum of 2 times a day.
