Whats in yours?

[Butterfly Dawn]

Beside the standard 1st aid kit and your own personal medicines-

Whats in your medicine cabinet- What are your Loves? and what are your must haves?

Since the big red tub was revealed to be not so great, I suspect a few of us are struggling to find things to replace it.

I love bepathen cream- I use it on all cuts, scraps, spots,cracks and skin irritations inc the raw nappy rash that happens sometimes.

We also have tylinol, echinacea, olive leaf extract, rescue remedy, vit c with zinc, and antihystamine in liquid form

[Katters]

Bepanthen here also.
Carsickness lollipops
Surplus gummi vitamins (I buy bulk on sale)
Infant suppositories
Burn cream
Menthol rub
Panadol and codeine pills
1 bandage I've owned for about 10 years
50 gazillion Disney princess band aids.

I have some 'bump buddies' I keep in the freezer. They're little animal shapes filled with goo that make great kids cold packs. They fix lots of stuff in this house.
A thermometer - well three - a digital tympanic, my neonatal digital and a regular one.

I have to say mine is really bare. I don't tend to put stuff on injuries as a general rule and my kids don't 'do' medicines/vitamins voluntarily so I don't bother.

[Butterfly Dawn]

I like the animal shape bump buddies.
I think they would go a long way and be appreciated a lot

[~Kim~]

They're great, and they don't drip water everywhere like ice does.
I've also seen a suggestion of a wet sponge in a zip lock bag and frozen.
