Build a First Aid kit that is complete. Here are a few items you might consider:
1.Children's non asprin pain reliever(Tylenol-but make sure you get infant's asprin free)
2.tweezers(for splinters and stings)
3.nasal aspirator but the hospital type with the long piece on the end.
4.antibiotic ointment
5.bandaids
6.sunblock(for childrens 6 months and up)
7.thermometer-usually they tell you rectal but I would get the one that is a pacifier or the ones that stick under the arm. They are easier to use.
8.Tylenol infant's cold medicine
9.Oragel for teething
10.antiseptic towelettes for cleaning cuts
11.Purell
12.cotton
13.Q-tips
14.tissues
And anything else you feel is vital.
