Jungle Formula insect repellent lotion
When we go away, and if there is any chance of bites, we always go well armed with insect repellents because there are few things as bad as spending your holiday scratching! I tend to buy Jungle formula for no other reason than it's the one i just grab as I shop, but i have also tried other makes which have proved effective. We usually use the spray but on our last foray to more tropical climes i decided to give the lotion a go; the spray came as well in case this proved to be too tricky.

So you are able to decide which tog rating is needed, for example, in the summer when it's warm you will only need a 1tog or if it's colder you may need a 3tog. They come in different patterns and designs so you may chose whether you want a girlie pink one or a boy blue one etc.
The main purpose of these grobags is to stop the baby from getting cold during the night as they may do with a blanket. Babies do not sleep soundly constantly, they do toss and turn and are able to shift themselves ...
Sleepingbags for babies are perhaps my favourite of the 'baby gadgets' I don't know what I'd do without ours so whoever invented them I am forever grateful!
When babies are sleeping they are just like us adults, they toss and turn. but unlike us, they can't reach for their covers when they manage to throw them off or they can't get themselves back out from underneath them if they wiggle down under them. In the night we were forever getting up to put the blankets back around baby Hope or we would be forever checking that she hadn't managed to get underneath them. Now that it's getting cold again I would be worried that if she was able to kick her blankets off that she would be too cold in the night and would have to keep checking her again.
Sleepingbags ensure that you don't need to keep checking on your baby for their covers as ...
