Topical Anti-Itch : The best advice for this is apply a topical anti-itch cream ( ex- benadryl topical cream or calamine lotion). After applying the lotion put baby in cotton clothing with long sleeves/pants. You want to keep the bites covered to avoid the baby scratching them and causing a cut in skin that can then get infected. The bites alone will self resolve with time.
