Babies 1st 1st aid kit

[1stX]

As the first week of March looms closer I’ve started to wonder what I should stock up on aside from nappies and cotton wool etc

Are there any seasoned professional parents out there who can offer advice on what sort of things I’ll need for my 1st aid kit?

Thermometer that you put in ear to take temperature
Snuffle babe
Calpol but it’s 6/8 weeks, you can buy sachets for when you are out and about

When older can add children’s ibrupofen, plasters, wipes etc.

Calpol, snufflebaby, baby olbas, bepanthen,sudocrem, thermometer. Anbesol is good for teething but you won't need it for ages!

Sudocrem. I used it all the time but if you are planning on using some other nappy cream I'd have this in just incase baby gets nappy rash.

We were also told to include burn gel.

It might be good to find a teething remedy you are comfortable with in advance as my DD started teething at 2.5 months and had her bottom two teeth in by 4 months which was much faster than I was expecting!

Wow. I hadn’t even thought about teething yet! Thanks for the suggestions guys x

If your having a stock up get some paracetamol, ibuprofen, Lansinoh (if bf) and lavender oil for you!

We did what I never thought i'd do and signed on to a Baby FIrst Aid course. Oh yes. £40pp for me and the hubster. I am guessing they'll tell us what to stock so can report back? It's in early Feb though...which might be unhelpful!

lanisol, infacol, metonium. 3 things you don't know you need, till you need them ungently
