Bub is due in 6 weeks and we don't have a medical kit, what are the essentials?

Do a first aid course including infant CPR.
Thermometer

Breastfeed

a thermometer, and some infant panadol. An infant CPR course is an excellent idea too.

i love how you ask all these great questions and i can just come along behind and get all the great answers!!!

This is an awesome thread! Wish we'd been this organised because when you need these kinds of things, you NEED them!

I would recommend a saline drops and aspirator kit, nurofen or panadol, some of the Brauer's stuff like Calm or Teething Relief, bandaids, digital thermometer and a vaporiser.

We are getting a baby medical kit that has:
thermometer
snot sucker
medicine spoon
medicine syringe
and something else but can't remember what it is! It's like $27 from K-mart, Target and Big W...

Then we will have sailine drops, children's panadol (but can't be used till 3 months I'm pretty sure), bepanthem, bonjella and some of those baby cotton tips.

It'll be in a bag that we can take away etc...
