I know medicines for babies can be a bit controversial but all of these items above, we've used with Chase and have discussed them and got approval from out pediatrician. I am in no way a doctor or medical professional, these are simply items that I've found worked for us and I hope will work for you as well.
1. When Chase has a stuffy nose, nasal spray is helpful in getting the tough stuff out! This formula is made by the same company that makes Boogie Wipes and it's gentle for sensitize little noses!
2. I had never heard of this miracle cream prior to having Chase but I'm so very glad I know about it now! In Chase's whole year of life, he's had only one minor diaper rash when he first came home from the hospital. I contacted our pediatrician late one night and they recommended this cream. We ran out to get it that same night and by the next morning it was just about gone! After that, I used it with each diaper change as a preventative measure for a bit. It's a little on the pricier side but it's worth it's weight in gold!
3. Vick's Baby Rub was also recommended by our pediatrician when Chase had his first cold. We used it sparingly but it definitely helped with his congestion. It's a great item to have handy!
4. Boogie Wipes are a favorite of ours! I have them in Chase's nursery, my car, and my diaper bag. I like to use them over regular tissues because they never dry out his nose.
5. We have this thermometer and love that it's a noninvasive product that can be used on newborns and adults alike. It's very easy to use as well!
6. It's always good to have some sort of pain reliever in the house - especially when it's teething time! We love both Infant Motrin and Infant Tylenol.
7. The idea of the Nose Frida nasal aspirator may be very unappealing and might actually deter some from purchasing and using it but honestly, this product is amazing! It's much more effective than a traditional aspirator and it's easy to clean.
8. This outdoor duo pack from Babyganics has both mineral based sunscreen and natural insect repellent - both very important to have!
9. The First Years American Red Cross Baby Healthcare and Grooming Kit has all of the essentials for your baby. It's a 17 piece set that includes a nasal aspirator, digital thermometer with case, soft-tip medicine dispenser, comfort tip medicine spoon with cap, brush, comb, scissors, nail clipper, fingertip toothbrush, emery boards, and a rattle. It all comes in a handy zippered case for easy storage.
