Question? Medicines?

MrsP · Sep 18th, 2008, 12:26 PM

I was just thinking, has anyone bought any medicines or anything for their little one to put in the cupboard or are you planning to buy it as the time comes?

I have bought some infacol and gripe water, is there anything else you think should maybe have in the cupboard?

All I have is Gripe Water and Sudocrem (if that's classed as a medicine?)... I'll buy other stuff as I need it, or send OH out to find it lol

I remember being a kid at my Nanna's and I'd use a chair to get up to the cupboard where the Gripe Water was and drink it out the bottle

was lovely stuff lol

Hmmm, didn't actually think very much about this. I have the baby thermometer and what not but no actual medicines. I may ask the midwife tomorrow is there anything she would suggest me having.

I have gripe water, calpol (even though she wont be able to use it fr a while!) I have teething gel too xxx

I've got some nappy rash stuff as well, can't remember for the life of me what it's called... lol... I have a "baby box" with all that kinda stuff in, nail clippers and brushes and all that malarky... got the thermometer too which is actually really good, got it from mothercare...

I'd probably do what Irishmum says and ask my midwife, but I'll forget...

Teething gel! There's a smarty pants. Thinking outside the box eh? I think I may start making a small list off this thread. Many of you dont seem to be affected with the dreaded baby brain!! Lol

Gripe water is something that helps to bring babys wind up, especially good for colicky babies x
