Baby / Young Child First Aid Kit

[pinkposey]

Hi all

I would like to put together a first aid kit for emergencies for babies and young children. Does anyone please have any advice for things to include for all possible eventualities - or any links to decent websites that I could look up?

Many thanks.

The Red Cross website has a shop where you can buy a first aid kit for childcare - I think its aimed at people like childminders rather than parents, but you could get just a selection of the things they list in it.

They also run first aid courses which cover things like how to deal with choking, and CPR. Knowing how to deal with those sorts of emergencies might be a higher priority, as those are things which need a quick response.
