The first aid kit for a baby born without special health and developmental needs will likely be smaller than the one intended for adult family members.
What is noteworthy is that its main contents are not medicinal drugs.
We'll tell you what you need to put in a newborn's first aid kit.
Personal hygiene products
Make sure you always have a supply of cotton pads and swabs, baby wipes and antiseptic gel at home – all of this will come in handy both in the first and subsequent days of your baby’s life.
Pipette
A pipette is needed not only to drip into a child’s eyes or ears if necessary – sometimes it is the only salvation when you need to give water to a newborn with a high temperature.
Syringe without needle
Such a syringe should come with antipyretic drugs, but it also happens that it is not in the box. Agree, it would be better if you take care of the presence of such an "assistant" in advance.
Thermometer
Here it’s up to you – you can choose any thermometer that will show accurate values and will be convenient to use.
Aspirator
Both mechanical and electronic aspirators do a good job of clearing mucus from the nasal passages. They may be needed when you are sick or after crying for a long time.
