mosquito bites on 6 month old

Deidre, that sounds fantastic, I'm saving that for future reference.

The best thing i've found for them (reduces itching as well as swelling) is Paraderm Plus first aid cream. DD1 used to come out in these huge welts and they go straight down with this. But I'll be trying the bicarb next time...

monnie, I think I've seen the pawpaw ointment at our little local woolies, with all the insect creams and bandaids

I got paw paw from the chemist, but it wouldn't surprise me to see it on the shelves of a biggish supermarket. Hope he's more comfy soon.

Monnie - i use Bepanthen First Aid - its an antiseptic cream and is about half the price of the other brands and then i also have it there for scraps and cuts for the rest of us.

I've always just used vinegar or a cold compress - ice is great if it is tolerated.
