Bug Spray

Does anyone know what is safe to use as bug repellant? I read that DEET can be absorbed into the blood and to be cautious over what is placed on baby's skin but what about ours! I know the "skeeters" are coming out soon!

there shouldnt be any problem with it.. I found this online "Limited human studies have also found no increase in birth defects. And when DEET was used as recommended, no other problems were noted with babies' survival, growth, or development in the first year of life." the web site is (3Ws) babycenter.com/404_is-it-safe-to-use-insect-repellent-while-im-pregnant_9220.bc hope that helps!

hmm the link messed up.. but only a little. Take the dashes out of the "b-c" at the end so it just says .bc
