First Aid Kit at home and outdoor

Hi

My PFB (13 months) has been walking for a while now but today he has had two falls one at home bumping his head on tiles and one outside grazing his knee. I had a baby first aid kit but I've not been prepared for this stage! Any recommendations for a first aid kit or ideas of what you keep in yours for this stage of toddling and beyond please?

TIA

Plasters, a cool gel pack you keep in the fridge, some arnica bruise cream and suitable pain relief for your child.
Next step up... Antihistamine cream, larger dressings, steristrips, triangular bandage (many uses!) Antiseptic wipes or saline solution for rinsing.

Germolene, scissors, micropore, dressing pads, gauze. DH is a haemophiliac and we carry a small kit with us at all times, and have one in the car as well as at home.

I have a little zip lock bag pouch in my handbag.

  • antiseptic wipes
  • plasters of different sizes
  • blister plasters
  • calpol sachets
  • paracetamol + immodium tablets (for me)
  • bravery stickers

dc bigger now, so calpol is now replaced by melting tablets.

Thank you so much everyone @tatyr @AndNoneForGretchenWieners @redsummershoes @CherryPavlova 😊 I really appreciate your input 💐. I've calmed Mr Mommybear down and persuaded him all body bubble wrap isn't necessary 🤣 (both injuries sustained on his watch so his guilt is HUGE as PFB).
