My girls!

Another no less useful and relevant post today about protecting little angels from mosquitoes) I hope it will be useful to you!)))

When the cold weather is replaced by warm weather, we rejoice at the opportunity to spend more time in the fresh air. And for young children, the warm season means longer walks and outdoor naps. However, with warmth, hordes of mosquitoes are reborn to life, which are ready to greedily cling to the defenseless baby body of the baby.

Relief comes from the fact that in Russia all types of mosquitoes are safe in terms of disease transmission. However, there are enough troubles from these insects: they do not allow adults to sleep peacefully at night, and babies can not only bite to scream, but also cause swelling of the mucous and delicate children's skin with their bites.

lock in summer time the doors and windows of the nursery are not an option. The child needs to spend as much time as possible in the fresh air and have access to the sun's rays. Therefore, parents should, even before the onset of warm weather, take care of measures to protect their baby from bloodthirsty insects.

Here are some steps you can take to help keep your little one safe from mosquitoes:

Before turning on the electric light in the room, make sure that all doors and windows are tightly closed. Mosquitoes flock to the light.

Attach insect screens to windows and doors. During periods of peak insect infestation, saturate these nets with mosquito repellent. Make sure that these products are harmless to children's health.

While in the country, make sure that the grass in the area surrounding your house is always mowed. Do not allow puddles of stagnant water to appear near the house. In dense tall grass and stagnant puddles, mosquitoes quickly start up.

Avoid walking with your child near wetlands and bodies of water. When preparing your baby for a walk in the evening, dress him in such a way that there are as few areas of exposed skin as possible. The color of children's clothing should be light, as mosquitoes prefer to land on dark surfaces.

First aid options for a child with a mosquito bite:

Prepare a slurry of baking soda and water and rub it on the bite site.

Soda lotion: Dissolve 1 teaspoon of soda in a glass of boiled water at room temperature.

Cut the onion and attach the cut to the bite.

Boric or ammonia dilute with water in a ratio of 1: 1 and lubricate the bite site.

Suspension "Tsindol".

Zinc-salicylic paste "Lassara".

Balm "Rescuer".

Gel "Fenistil".

Modern mosquito repellents

Anti-mosquito remedies are now commercially available in a huge variety. And each is effective in its own way. However, it may happen that a strong mosquito repellent can harm the health of a small child. How can the parents of the baby strike a balance between efficiency and harmlessness when choosing a means of protection against mosquito bites? How to protect the baby and at the same time not cause an allergic reaction in him, which can be much worse than itching from an insect bite?

Mosquito net. A harmless and proven way to protect the premises from the penetration of insects. However, having strengthened the mosquito nets on the openings of windows and doors, we cannot be 100% sure that a couple of mosquitoes will not enter the room where the baby is located. How much does a baby need?

Fumigators. An effective mosquito repellent that has become popular worldwide due to its ease of use and reliability. After 15 min. the operation of the device, the activity of mosquitoes in the room decreases sharply, and after 1.5-2 hours the insects die. Only well-tested records and liquids may be used. Monitor your baby's well-being and reactions. If he sneezes, coughs, and his eyes are watery, hurry up to ventilate the room.

However, fumigators are far from harmless, especially for tender babies. Therefore, it is better to turn them on in the absence of a child in the room and leave them on for 1-2 hours before laying the child on night sleep. It is undesirable to place a crib closer than 1 meter from a working fumigator. It is not recommended to leave the fumigator turned on for more than 3-4 hours in the nursery, and even more so - leave it overnight.

Repellents. The range of modern repellents is extremely wide: these are pencils and gels, aerosols, lotions and creams. Today on sale you can find enough repellents that are harmless for use in relation to infants. Repellents are recommended in cases where the child is allergic to mosquito bites, and there are a lot of insects themselves. Repellents should be applied to the hem of children's clothing or to a tissue, which should then be placed next to the child.

Repellents are not applied to the skin of a child. Repellents are also good because they can be used not only indoors, but also while walking with a child in the fresh air. When choosing repellents for babies, first read the text on the package. Some repellents can only be used from the age of 12, so be careful when choosing and buying them.

Anti-mosquito bracelets are a novelty that quickly became popular among parents with young children. Such bracelets are impregnated with repellents and act for quite a long time - 140-170 hours. The bracelet is worn on the child's wrist or ankle, and at night you can attach the bracelet to the crib so that it continues to repel insects. Do not buy the first bracelet that comes across, it is better to go to a pharmacy where they sell really high-quality and most harmless products for babies.

Folk remedies. There are a number of proven folk recipes, which successfully protected our grandfathers and great-grandfathers from mosquitoes. In nature, there are many plants that mosquitoes are afraid of. Eucalyptus, thyme, basil, lavender, wheatgrass, valerian, rosemary, sage have good insect repellent properties. Buy the essential oil of one of these plants at the pharmacy and put a couple of drops on your child's clothes. When laying the baby at night, you can drop a little oil on the edge of the blanket, pillow or napkin. If your baby has a predisposition to allergies, entrust the choice of oil to the doctor.

When choosing a mosquito repellent for your child, make sure that it does not contain a high concentration of toxic substances. Buy such funds, if possible, in pharmacies, and not in other places. When choosing a product, take into account not only the age of the child, but carefully read all the information indicated on the package, paying special attention to the data on the content of toxic substances. The proportion of toxic substances in the anti-mosquito preparation for the protection of babies should not exceed 7%. Preference should be given to mosquito bite remedies with a prolongator.

With the approach of spring, think in advance of all the measures to protect your child from invasion and mosquito bites - from mosquito nets to the means applied to the child's clothes. Protecting the baby from mosquito bites, we thereby provide the child with a calm, strong and healthy sleep which is so necessary for the baby for normal growth and development.

For a young mother, every trip with a baby outside the house is a little stress. It is necessary to take with you a whole arsenal of children's accessories and it is very important not to forget anything. However, there are remedies that are best taken care of in advance, and one of them is a mosquito repellent for a child.

The use of electric fumigators

Electric fumigators are present in almost every home, since this tool is quite effective helpers against annoying mosquitoes. However, with the advent of a child, many parents begin to wonder if the electric fumigator is harmful to the baby? Can it be used in a child's room? Many mothers after such reflections prefer to rush to extremes, throw out these devices and look for a safer mosquito repellent.

However, the situation with electric fumigators is not as terrible as it seems at first glance. You can use them in the children's room. Since now a large number of special plates and liquids have appeared that are allowed to be used next to newborn babies. However, try to minimize the use of these funds. Here are a few rules that will not allow fumigators to harm your baby:

• if you have mosquito nets on the windows, then there is no need to turn on the fumigator all night. It is enough to turn it on for a couple of hours before going to bed so that all bloodsuckers are destroyed;
• if you still decide to leave a working fumigator all night, in this case, try to place it within a radius of about two meters from the crib in which the baby sleeps;
• remember that chamomile-based fumigants are the most harmless. Give preference to them.

In any case, before using the fumigator in the children's room, carefully study the packaging of the device, as manufacturers often cheat and write important information in very small print.

Mosquito repellent for babies

Of course, mosquitoes can bite a child not only at night and at home. Sometimes even on an evening walk, a bloodsucker can bite a baby. In this case, special repellents (for example, baby mosquito cream) can come to the rescue. They are applied to open areas of the body. However, before buying, study the packaging of the product in detail. Since a large number of manufacturers are cunning and write in capital letters that the product can be used by babies, although reverse side it is already written in small print that this remedy is suitable for children over 3 years old.

Folk remedies for mosquitoes

There are many folk remedies that will protect your baby from mosquito bites. For example, fresh parsley juice helps against bloodsuckers. They lubricate uncovered parts of the body of the baby. You can also lubricate the skin with an oil solution of vitamin E. In the room, a solution of vanillin will help protect the child from mosquitoes: one sachet is diluted in 0.5 liters of water. This solution must be sprayed in the room with a spray bottle.

First aid for a mosquito bite

If it was not possible to avoid the bite, then it is necessary to treat the affected area.

Mosquitoes are not only unpleasant bloodsuckers, but also quite dangerous carriers of various infections.

For more information, we suggest you watch a video from Dr. Komarovsky on the topic "Insect Bites":

When going for a walk with the baby, do not forget about the means of protection against insect pests. Before going outside, think in advance how to protect your child from mosquitoes. To date, there are many means that destroy pests, but not all of them are equally useful for babies up to a year old. Therefore, it is worth choosing the right drugs that will be both harmless to the baby and repellent to mosquitoes.

Of course, our insects do not carry as much harm as foreign ones. The latter can become carriers of various infections that are dangerous for children up to a year and older. Therefore, going on a long vacation, take care of the means of protection. Mosquitoes can carry malaria and different kind fevers.

The kids are talking! A son ( 3.5 years) has long been surprised that I love hot tea. Today dawned:
- Do you like it when you have hot teeth in your mouth?

Resting in national parks it is also necessary to protect the child from bites, as children strive to comb them, thereby causing an infection. In addition, in too sensitive crumbs, an allergy to bites in the form of rashes and blisters is possible.

Moms take note! If the baby is still bitten by mosquitoes and there is a reaction in the form of redness, a rash or a blister, it is necessary to give him antihistamines that are age-appropriate. An effective drug for relieving itching is consideredMosquitall with an active antibacterial complex.

All kinds of protection and age restrictions

There are many popular tools and techniques that help repel blood-sucking insects. We will talk about these funds below, and also tell you from what age they are considered absolutely safe for children.

To protect the child from mosquitoes, you can also use folk remedies: oils of cloves, anise, mint, menthol, geranium, tea tree, wormwood.

Attention! Be careful when using essential oils to repel mosquitoes. Many of them have restrictions on the age of the child. For babies, it is permissible to use only lavender clove oils, and a drop of wormwood ether can be dropped on the hood of the stroller before getting ready for a walk.

A few words about other available means

In addition to the devices listed in the list, you can use more affordable means: tomato herbs, spruce, valerian. No less effective is fish oil. To achieve the effect, set fire to a valerian branch in the room for a few minutes. After which you will notice that the insects will disappear.

Today, manufacturers of mosquito protection offer a variety of products, including for children. For example, sprays, lotions, creams, special wet wipes. Experts advise using them to process not the skin, but clothes and the canopy of the stroller. After returning home from a walk, be sure to change your child's clothes and wash his face and hands with soap and warm water. A huge disadvantage of using such products is that children often develop an allergy to chemicals. In addition, mosquito poison can get into the eyes and mouth of the little one.

Not so long ago, anti-mosquito children's bracelets appeared on sale. Manufacturers assure that they do not contain toxic substances and are safe even for newborns. This bracelet is worn on the arm or leg of the child. You can also hang it above the crib to protect your baby from mosquito bites at home.

Folk remedies

It has long been noticed that some smells repel mosquitoes. For example, these bloodsuckers are afraid of the aroma of citrus, lavender, geranium, cloves, vanilla, eucalyptus. Here are some folk recipes on how to protect a baby from insects. Mix ordinary confectionery vanillin with vegetable oil or baby cream. Before a walk, apply the mixture to clothes and exposed skin of the child. For babies with very sensitive skin, you can use this remedy: for 50 milliliters of vegetable oil, take 30 drops of tea tree oil and 5 drops of clove. Store the mixture in a dark glass bottle and shake well before use. You can also just apply a couple of drops of one of the plant oils that mosquitoes hate on the child’s clothes and stroller. The main thing is to monitor the well-being of the crumbs, sometimes natural smells cause allergies.

Among other things, when going for a walk, it is worth remembering a few simple rules. To prevent mosquitoes from getting to your baby's skin, dress him in such a way that the arms and legs are covered. At the same time, clothing should not fit snugly to the body and be too bright. Choose light-colored outfits for walking, they attract insects less. Also, do not use cosmetics with strong odors. After all, if some smells repel mosquitoes, then others, on the contrary, attract them.

If it was not possible to protect the child from the bite, treat the pimple with brilliant green, alcohol solution, ammonia, 30% hydrogen peroxide or lemon juice. You can also make lotions from soda or salt - a teaspoon in a glass of cool water. Calendula tincture helps to relieve redness and itching from mosquito bites. You can also anoint the bite with mint toothpaste. It is important not to let the baby comb the pimple to the wound so that the infection does not get into it.

Summer is the time for outdoor walks, relaxation and travel. So that this wonderful time is not spoiled, you need to take care of protection from insect bites in advance.

Summer is the time for outdoor walks, relaxation and travel. So that this wonderful time is not spoiled, you need to take care of protection from insect bites in advance. This is especially true for young children - after all, they are the ones who suffer the most from "flying monsters".

home defense

The most effective and easiest way to get rid of mosquitoes at home is to buy a fumigator with liquid or a plate. The fumigator is inserted into the outlet, its elements heat up, and the special liquid gradually evaporates. Now there are a lot of different devices and liquids on the market, but before choosing one or another device, pay attention to the age at which you can use this tool. If we are talking about the children's room, it is better to purchase a special liquid designed for use in the presence of children - Masque baby guard, "Sissy", "Nekusayka", "Komarikoff". Pay attention to age restrictions!

Suitable for newborns and very young children Masque baby guard. It is approved for use on newborns. The fumigator is equipped with a light indicator that glows slightly when the device is in operation. The bottle is designed for 250 hours (75 nights). In addition, the recipe developed by the specialists of the German company IR Pharma Gmbh contains Moroccan chamomile essential oil, which has a slight aromatherapy effect: it calms and improves sleep.

To reduce the number of insects entering the room, you can pull a mosquito net over the windows - this is the most convenient and simple way, although there are folk remedies: you can put chamomile on the window or apply a few drops of clove oil, thyme, lavender, lemon or geranium.

Insect protection while walking

To protect the child from insects on the street, it is better to use insect repellents. Now there are a lot of different products on the market, and you can easily choose the most convenient form for you and your baby - gel, spray or cream. It is necessary to pay attention to the age at which each specific remedy can be used. In stores you can find products for use in children from three years old (Mosquitall, Gardex), from 2 years old (Baby-Deta), from 1.5 years old - Gardex and Baby-Deta. For the smallest, you can use funds.

The possibility of creating such a tool appeared thanks to the innovative substance IR3535 - the safest to date and widely used by European manufacturers. Based on it, IR Pharma has developed a formulation of funds. These products are also unique in that they are based on water, which is especially important for children's products, since the skin of babies has increased absorbability. In addition, new baby mosquito repellents contain chamomile extract, which has antibacterial properties. The line includes cream, gel and spray lotion. The cream remains effective longer on wet skin, softening and moisturizing it. The gel in a convenient bottle with a dispenser has a light texture, is easy to apply and does not burden the baby's skin. Water-based spray lotion can be applied not only to the skin, but also to clothing, stroller, canopy to enhance the protective effect - it does not leave stains.

Increased safety requirements are imposed on children's products - therefore, the funds are registered by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation precisely as medicines, and quartzization of production facilities has been introduced at the enterprise that produces drugs; employees work in gloves, masks and white coats. The toxicological safety of products for children from one year old is confirmed by the Research Institute of Disinfectology of the Ministry of Health of Russia.

For children under 1 year old, for pregnant and lactating women on this moment there are no repellents. The only thing that can be advised is to treat the clothes with lotion.

What to do if a child is bitten

If the child is nevertheless bitten by mosquitoes, then it is necessary first of all to remove discomfort. This will prevent scratching and, as a result, infection. To do this, you can use the balm after bites - it can also be used for children under 1 year old. Thanks to green tea extract, the balm gently cools the bite site, eliminates unpleasant itching. Cucumber extract reduces swelling, and berhavia extract helps to relieve the inflammatory response.

If there was no balm at hand after the bites, you can use folk remedies- Treat the bite site with a solution of baking soda (? Spoons per glass of warm water) or lubricate the bite with lemon juice. The main thing is not to let children comb the wound, no matter how hard it may be.

The balm will also help with bee stings, horseflies, nettle and jellyfish burns. But we must remember that bee stings can be extremely difficult for a baby to tolerate, so you must immediately remove the sting left by the insect and disinfect the wound. If you see that the child does not feel well, you need to show the baby to the doctor. The specialist, if necessary, will prescribe medication, as bee stings can cause a severe allergic reaction. The actions with are similar, with the only difference that the sting does not need to be removed - the wasp, unlike the bee, does not leave it.

In order not to be out in nature without mosquito protection, it makes sense to take care of repellents and insecticides for children in advance. And we hope that Masque baby products will help you have a fun summer.

DID YOU KNOW?

Children get head lice more often than adults

Indeed, most often head lice occur in children aged 5 to 12 years. Unlike adults, they are much more mobile and sociable, spend a lot of time in contact games, keep secrets “in your ear”. In addition, children willingly change hats, hair clips and, without hesitation, use a common comb. Especially often infection occurs in children's camps and in other places. summer holidays where a large number of children live at the same time. In this regard, medical workers in kindergartens and schools without fail examine all children in early September for pediculosis in order to prevent the further spread of the disease.

Lice may be resistant to some pediculicides

Since the 80s. of the twentieth century, as a result of mutations, lice begin to develop resistance to permethrin, one of the insecticides widely used in pediculosis, acting on nervous system insects. This significantly reduced the effectiveness of such drugs. However, among traditional insecticides, preparations based on substances from other chemical groups still remain active against head lice. In the last decade, a new effective group of pediculicides has appeared, represented by products containing silicone oils - dimethicones. At a low concentration of dimethicones, they also include mineral oils (Isopar, Clearol). Such funds act physically - the substances included in their composition prevent the respiration of insects and disrupt their water exchange. Lice do not develop resistance to them, and besides, they are non-toxic to humans.

Summer is coming - the most favorite time for parents and kids. Adults try to spend more time with children in the fresh air, and with the onset of warm days, trips out of town to nature become frequent. But sometimes insects can overshadow the rest, because the bites of some of them are very dangerous for young children. Therefore, it is necessary to take care of the means of protection in advance. The mothercare insect repellent bracelet is an indispensable item for any outing. It is ideal for all types...

The problem of head lice is relevant for many countries of the world. In Latin America and Asia, head lice infestation in schoolchildren can be very high - from 13% to 44% or more. Even in much more socially and economically prosperous European countries, the proportion of children with head lice during mass examinations can also reach a relatively high level: in Germany - 6.9%, Greece - 12.0%, Czech Republic - 14.1%.
