Summer is approaching, and with it comes the time to protect our children from mosquitoes and other unpleasant insects. But how to choose the right repellent that would be safe for babies' skin? 
We have some tips:
. Choosing a repellent: Choose products that contain active ingredients such as DEET, Picaridin, or IR3535. These repellents are considered the most effective and safe for children.
. Concentration of the active ingredient: For children under 2 years of age, it is recommended to use products with a lower concentration of the active ingredient to avoid skin irritation.
. Applying the repellent: Apply the repellent to the baby's skin carefully, avoiding the areas around the eyes and mouth. Do not apply repellents under clothing or on open wounds or irritated skin.
. Reapplication: Check package instructions and reapply as needed, especially after bathing.
. Alternative methods: If you are looking for an alternative to chemical repellants, consider using natural repellants based on essential oils such as lavender or eucalyptus.
