- Tylenol-a very important must for fevers, pain relief after getting vaccines, etc. I have like 3 bottles in my first aid kit, so stock up!
- Motrin and Children's Benadryl-Babies can't use these products until they are 6 months old, but like I said, it's good to be prepared...you never know when your baby will get sick.
- Vicks Warm Mist humidifer and Vicks VapoSteam-works wonders in clearing up those stuffy noses
- Braun ear thermometer-I know some people complain these aren't accurate, but mine works great and lets me know when Chase has a fever...and I don't have the heart to use a rectal thermometer on him, I know he would not appreciate that at all!
- Be Kool fever strips-gets those high temps down quick! Only comes in a 4 pack so I would get a couple boxes
- 2-3 bottles of Pedialyte-you never know when your baby will start throwing up, having diahrea, or mouth blisters and won't take milk...
- Baby ice pack
- Medicine dispenser-At Walmart in the baby section there is a medicine bottle dispenser that is perfect for babies.
- Baby Bliss gripe water-sold at Walgreens. Works much better than the infant gas drops. And trust me, your baby will get stopped up with gas and have stomach pain at some point.
- Humphrey's Teething Pellets-also sold at Walgreens. You never know when your baby will start that painful process of teething. I hear these work great though I have yet to use them.
- Hyland or Similasan Earache drops-for temporary relief from ear infections until you can get to the doctor and get antibiotics
I hope this helps! And again, if I'm forgetting anything or if you have found products you love, leave a comment!
