baby health and safety

bonjourbelle05

So, I have been trying to add a few health and safety type items to our registry (nail clippers, the nose sucker thing, etc), but all of the kits I seem to find get terrible reviews....I'm not set on a kit I'm willing to buy individual items, but does anyone have ones that they love and have held up (which seems to be the biggest complaint)?

These are my absolute favorite nail clippers.  I don't actually use the magnifying glass (thought I would but it's more of a hassle) but they are big enough to be comfortable for me to hold.  A lot of baby nail clippers are tiny and hard for me to grip.

ETA:  As far as holding up, I'm still using them on my almost 3 1/2 year old.

As far as nose suction, the one they give you from the hospital is going to be the best one, so I wouldn't even bother buying one of those.

I read the same terrible reviews...I ended up getting everything individually. No idea how they'll end up working!

I bit off DS's nails when he was a newborn. Cutting newborn fingers is really scary. Now I use the Safety First clippers.

I used the nose aspirator from the hospital until I bought a Nose Frida. No much faster and better than the blue bulb.

We also received two medicine droppers from the hospital.

I did get a little grooming kit at my shower that had a brush, comb, and finger tooth brush. I used them all. Now DS uses a regular tooth brush though.

The Safety 1st comb/brush set worked best for us for her hair.  I still use The First Years American Red Cross clippers. They really worked well for me and still do after 2 years.  Generic ibuprofen infant (after 6 mos) worked great for us, pediatricians are recommending using it over acetaminophen (tylenol) now for fevers, ear infections, etc.  I had The First Years nasal aspirator and it worked well, unlike pp's I did not receive one from the hospital.
