I have an infant first aid/grooming kit, baby tylenol, and gas drops.  Besides diaper rash cream, is there anything else you suggest I should have on hand before he comes?

Thanks!

If it's not included in your first aid kid (which is probably is), an aspirator. DS has huge boogies. Your pedi will recommend a specific type, but if you plan to bf you'll need vitamin drops.

Alcohol wipes for the belly button, and if he's getting circumsized, you'll need small square guaze pads and A&D ointment to put on his peepee with every diaper change until it's healed...we went through at least 50 guaze pads within the first 3 weeks!

I got baby oragel and gripe water too.

My pedi said no to drops, because I am taking a prenatal.

I say Q-tips and A&D ointment is the best!  I had to use monistat this last weekend on a yeast infection.... she got one in the rolls of her arm pit.  The monistat cleared it right up!
