What would you do?

[Ellie-oop]

_{ok, so this terrifies me and my mum had told me so many stories of when I was a baby and she would check on my that I would have a spider.. A few times huntsmans.. Others white tails.. On my head or on my tummy when I was sleeping.. My question is.. What is the best way to go about getting a spider off your baby without your baby being harmed at all? You can't spray it, or hit it? And flicking it while your baby is in their bassinet doesn't sound to safe either!? I may sound like a very paranoid person.. But this actually really worries me :-/}

Omg, that is scary! What did your mum do to get them off you? I think I would get a couple layers of tissue and try to pinch it off iykwim.

I'd just use my hand and brush them away.
But I must add that although we live in a house with a LOT of spiders (and I really mean a LOT), I've yet to have that scenario happen.

[Tinks]

I would fumigate my house if my child had spiders crawling over them most nights.

I'd immediately flick it off, then pick up my child and deal with the spider. Like Misty, I live in a house with a lot of spiders (weatherboard on acreage) and have never had a spider on my children... well, not that I've seen!!

Maybe you were a spider whisperer as a baby?

[Ellie-oop]

I will definately be getting my house fumigated that's for sure.. Haha spider whisperer I love it! I keep saying I must have been an exterminator in my last life and now they are out to get me! My mum waited until they moved and then grabbed me.. But I honestly don't know if I could leave a spider sitting on her until it decides to move :-/ I ask because there was a huge white tail above her bassinet last night, and I'm just thankful it didn't drop!

get a net cover for your bassinet. I have one with an elastic hem which I stretch over the top. keeps bitey insects and spiders out, and makes me feel at ease.

if I saw something crawling on bub I would brush it off, grab my boy, exterminate the intruding offender then scrub my hand OCD style while doing the 'oh god they're in my hair' crazy dance lol.
