Every parent wants to protect their baby in any way they can. And this can be hard at times. Babies are very vulnerable and they are not able to protect themselves just yet. They are in the beginning stages of building their immune system and this is often the time when many viruses carried by mosquitoes look for a new home. Especially when travelling with your baby this can happen. When you’re travelling to a country where there are more viruses, more types of mosquitoes or where the chance of getting a disease is bigger, it can get very difficult.
