I just wondered if anyone knows/can recommend an insect repellant for a 3 month old? We're going camping over Christmas and the sandflies are fierce where we're going, I'm super-reactive to them so I can imagine what my wee one will think if she gets bitten! I wondered which ones might be safe for wee babies? I know of some that say 6 months and older, but I wondered about ones for younger babies, I'm assuming there must be something out there!

I never tried any on my daughter when she was that young but we had a lot of citronella candles going around the area we were and that kept the sandflies at a distance :)
