first aid kit
we got baby panadol, nappy rash cream and a digital thermometer in advance, but other things we've picked up a bit here and a bit there.

we looked at what commercial first aid kids had, and lots of that was stuff we had at home anyway (tweezers, little scissors, normal bandages, band aids) or things which we don't think we're likely to need - or we can made do (triangle bandage, distilled water, etc).

with a 2 year old, the only other things which have been added to the stash are redipret (a liquid steroid for croup and other things) and baby neurofen. I'm glad we saved our money
