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

This is the brand that my friend uses, the Babygarnics DEET free inspect repellant. It's made from essential oils like peppermint, rosemary, citronella, geranium and a few others. You just spritz it on your hands and rub it around areas that might cause problems for baby. You can get it on iherb and it costs about 10-13SGD.
