So, what things do you have in the house that you find are essential with having a baby?
I'm still learning. DS had his first cold this week, but it came on overnight when no chemists were open. DS was grizzly all night and couldn't sleep because he couldn't breathe properly. I'd heard about Fess Little Noses - but as it was the middle of the night we couldn't buy it (no 24 hour chemists here). DH went first thing in the morning, and what a difference it made!
Other baby essentials for while DS was sick were baby panadol and a digital thermometer.
What other things have you found essential with a baby? Not necessarily for when they're sick, but have saved you in a difficult situation, etc?
Aww you should have sent me a text - we have about 3 bottles of fess here!!!!
Ummmm.... something to cut their nails. Definitely. I don't use a thermometer anymore cos I can tell when they are running a temp just by touching them, but use panadol and SM33 for sure when they are teething
We've had a lot of success with infants friend and gripe water. Mostly for bad wind but I did give the infants friend the other day to try relax her when she was overtired but still wouldn't settle.
For when he's sick...digital thermometer, plenty of syringes & droppers, nurofen, dimetap, fess + the snot-sucking thing lol!
For his eczema and nappy rash...dermaid has been great. For when his skin is not flared up...moogoo MSM cream!
In general...sling, swing, mobile (often distracts him for a few minutes of relief!), play mat, jolly jumper (!), teething toys - these are things that are used every day!
