This post gives you a detailed review of Chicco Mosquito Repellent Gel suited for 3m+ babies. When Anshika was born , we shifted to a house near by my office so that I could resume my job with no commuting for long hours. Anshika’s day-care was also nearby my office, so I started falling in love with that area. Everything about the new house was good , except mosquitoes ; not like one or two, it seemed as if they attacked us in swarm 🙁 :P.

Everyday I used to feel guilty when I see the red bumps caused by the mosquitoes on my baby’s legs, hands and even face. Though I had tried using nets over her bed , I never knew how those lil creatures could get in and attack our baby. Everyday evening it was a complaint session by me to my hubby regarding this. That’s when he bought Hummer electric mosquito repellent for her, you can read the review here . It was a waste of our money and effort.
I searched online for a good mosquito repellent for babies and researched on it a lot. Wherever I went I got one answer Chicco Mosquito Repellent Gel. My saviour !! Here I come , I ordered it and awaited the parcel delivery guy from babyoye.
