Common: The best answer is to protect your baby from the mosquitos. If they come into your home, consider mosquito netting. Protective clothing, as well as bug repellents may also be helpful, although we don't ususually like to use the repellents in young children-if malaria or other mosquito borne illnesses are of concern where you live, talk with his doctor.
