Traveling with Baby First Aid Kit

It's truly reassuring when bubs gets a little poorly and you have your regular remedies with you.

Hunting down a 24hr chemist on your travels can be a real hassle - and even more difficult when you are abroad traveling with baby and you don’t speak the language!

Don’t forget to put the first aid kit in the main luggage if you are flying with baby as many items, like scissors will be confiscated from your hand luggage.

Baby First Aid Checklist

• Prescription meds (such as malaria tablets)
• Thermometer
Calpol and Baby Nurofen if your baby is old enough (we take two small 100ml bottles in the carry on luggage and put two larger bottles in the main luggage as spares)
• Antiseptic ointment
• Child Plasters Consider buying 'spray on skin'. It is very effective for larger cuts and grazes and is quite a novelty with the kids.
• Tweezers
• Insect Repellent
• Calomine lotion
• Rehydration powder Diarolite, add to water to make a salty solution that is for all ages for diarrhoea and vomiting. Comes in different flavours, blackcurrant recommended.
