My baby is one week old and we are staying in a dengue cluster area. May I check if there are any suitable on-the-go mosquito repellent that I can use on my baby? I heard those patches are not suitable for infants due to the ingredients that are used to produce the smell that deters the mosquitoes. I saw one battery operated (led/uv) clip on repellant at kiddy palace. Can newborn use that? Thanks. Ps. I have a uv lamp insert repellant in my living room, but I'm afraid the mosquitoes would bite my newborn in the garden

According to my GP to effective prevent dengue and zika mosquitoes, you need insects repellent that contains DEET. Those without will not protect 100 percent. If you are looking for something that is suitable for babies, you can try this brand. It is recommended by my GP and is certified safe for babies. I bought them from the clinic near my house.
