    After feeding if your LO seems gassy-extra fussy, bringing legs to their belly, etc. You can add them to a bottle or give them before you feed.

    Vicks and Vicks shower soothers. The suction bulb, saline drops, and puffs tissues with lotion. Regular tissues will dry out their little noses very quickly.

    Ibuprofen after 6 months (works much better than tyl to bring down a fever), INFANT Tylenol, saline drops, gas drops, baby orajel swabs, Vick's, vasoline, triple antibiotic ointment, small band aids, and maybe a paper measuring tape.
