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?
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!

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!
