    shall try the mosquito net and see if she is wiggly or sleeps.... sounds safest to me, if not maybe should try something else!!

    we do have mosquito screens at all windows.... but since we live in a house there are a gazzlion doors... here n there, and many a times mozzies do make their way in.

    i have been fumigating the house every few months , but since theres a forest college campus nearby, mosquitoes are our frequent visitors lol!

    Vidyaa - My cousin had a mos. net around her bed. Your cot need not have the facility. You can put it up with some nails on the walls. I am also planning to do it once I go back to my house next month.

    Sumanr, Vidyaa,

    We are planning to attach a small 1ft pipe (aluminium or plastic) on all four legs of the bed. Then buy four lengthy ones, which cud be inserted into those permanent 1ft ones. Daily these attachments need to be put, by 5pm, have the net on. Morning take it off... in my place we r not supposed to nail the walls.

    Vidyaa,

    I had a similar umbrella net for mosquitoes, it was a bit small and suitable from day zero to 3 months. We do not have much mosquitoes so I found it helpful. It is not useful after three months with the wiggling and constant nursing the net becomes a problem also you cannot co-sleep i.e. three in a bed. Long term options like netlon for windows/ net over the bed/ closing windows in the evenings help.

    You need to find the best suitable option in your case. Let us know.

    Poonam - I am also using the mosquitoe net like thing, not the umbrella one, but something similar. But one prob is that I cannot co-sleep. But these days, she either sleeps in the bed alone, where I put her under the umbrella or in the cradle which has a net. Only prob is when she co-sleeps and nurses, she is prone to bites :((
