Detailed explanation-1: -You can use DEET-containing bug repellents on children ages 2 months and older, but there are some guidelines to follow: Products containing DEET should be used only once per day on children. We do not recommend sunscreen-bug spray combinations, as sunscreen needs to be reapplied regularly.
