hello.
i have question,
can g6pd baby withstand mosquito repellent, the heating mat type

http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00qClQN...pellent-Mat.jpg

baby is around 7 days.

googled few keywords, but couldn't get any answer.
always ended up, putting coconut oil on baby skin as repellent.

im not worry about the baby from mosquito as the baby sleeps in a net.

but, the thing is, i cant sleep as i cant use the repellent. (i hope i dont sound selfish here)

thank you very much.

shouldn't cause hemolysis in the baby.

but then, i don't like the idea of exposing yourself and the baby to mosquito repellent.

should go net the windows instead.

confinement is at in law house.
nothing much i can do. have to tahan until pantang period is over.

trust me, i would buy a flame thrower if it is legal to repel mosquito in this house

and actually the baby cradle is about 2 - 3 meter from where i sleep and my workstation. is it ok?

get a mosquito net for baby and get citronella natural oil mosquito repellent.

if i may ask, why u no pantang your home?

Ah i see i perfectly understand your situation...

There are those patches that are safe for babies (avoid deet and moth balls) which uses Citronella or Neem oil based....

Quite expensive though.....

I am using citronella spray..... my lo is g6pd too.....

because our own house is far. just got posted/moved there. so got no relatives nearby.
plus, her mom wants to take care of her daughter and first granddaughter too.


thanks for the insight on citronella oil.
any idea where to get around shah alam area?
does watson/tesco sells it?

any pharmacy will have it. I got mine from guardian.

I saw them selling the photocatalyst mosquito trap which trap the mosquitoes using fan suction. Well i think they are better than using mosquito repellant which emits odor

I supposed mosquito patch are more suitable for outdoor activities

My baby is g6pd deficient. If you're willing to use on normal baby, then no problem to use on g6pd deficient baby also. It's not on the list of forbidden g6pd items. My baby is nearly 3yo already, and we use normal mosquito repellant often, with no issues. More important to prevent malaria, because g6pd babies CANNOT be given most malaria medicine.

But throw away all moth balls. If you or your in-laws ever use moth balls, throw away all moth balls immediately, and make sure EVERYTHING that touches baby wash in hot water before use on baby to clear any moth ball residue.

Some parents prefer more natural products for their babies, even if not g6pd, so citronella products are a good alternative.

Hi,

I've read this thread and couldn't help but answer. I apologize in advance.

My husband is g6pd deficient and we are very careful with the things he use esp like things that contain nuts, etc. I can recommend Human Nature's G6PD friendly soybean free repellent oil. It is best to use by people who are G6PD deficient and 100% natural. check this site for details, www.mynaturestreat.com for details.

Use listerine on hand / leg can repel bugs
