Advice on Mozzie nets?

Hi, just want to hear some opinions on mosquito nets....

It is getting hot here and is only going to get hotter- I got bitten several times last night and I would like to spare my DD from getting bitten as much as possible. Are nets a safe option? I can see that they have the potential to be dangerous if pulled down but is that likely to happen?

Alternatively, are there any repellants on the market that are natural and safe for use on babies?

TIA- any advive would be much appreciated!

You do need to make sure the net can't be pulled down. The net over the spare bed at Mum's fell on me 'cause it wasn't tied up right so I wouldn't want bubs to be under swathes of net if it did come down. Probably best to go to a baby shop & see what's available.

IMO a cotton net is better - I think the air circulates better, but I could be imagining it.:redface: They aren't as easily fond as nylon ones however.
