Ok, my little sister is expecting her first this year but she and her DH live 200 miles away so my DH and I won't be there to help with the inevitable panics which occur with every new parent. I'm thinking of putting together a box of things which they might need but not think of until it's too late.
The idea is that she can go "oh sh*t! I really need (some nappy cream/some teething gel/something to wipe up the projectile vomit all over the floor) but I don't have any and all the shops are shut!"... then she can just pull out the box and get the emergency supplies to tide her over until she can get to a shop.
So far I have:
Calpol
Kids vapour rub
Bepanthen
Lanolin cream
Saline nasal spray
Emergency nappies
Antibacterial hand gel
Disposable bed mats (in case of multiple sick/leaks in the Moses basket etc)
Baby wipes
Teething gel
Teetha teething granules
Baby wipes
2-3 premixed formula
Muslins
Colic drops
Nipple shields
Can anyone think of anything else that might be needed at 3am when all the shops are shut?
TIA
