Scrapes, cuts, bumps, bruises and more are fears for parents. No parent ever wants their child or any other child for that matter to get hurt in any way shape or form but in the event that it happens it is always a smart idea to have a first aid kit not only at home but also in your car or diaper bag. You don't have to go out to the store to purchase a ready made kit like the Classy Kid Inc. Boo-Boo Rescue First Aid & Bravery Kit, although they make life a little easier, you can make your own. Items you need or should include in a first aid safety kit are:
- Antiseptic Wipes
- Gauze
- Band-aids (you can use plain or buy some with your child's favorite characters on them like Band-Aid Brand Adhesive Bandages, Dora the Explorer Decorated Bandages, 25-Count Bandages (Pack of 8))
- Wound cleanser
- Tweezers for splinters
- Antibiotic Cream
- Small scissors for cutting gauze or cutting clothes to get to a wound
- Cooling pack for little bumps to the head or burns
- Rubber Gloves
Other items you can include in your kit are bug spray, aspirator, nail clippers, thermometer, diaper rash creams, and wipes. Make sure to keep these items not only handy but also make sure that you periodically check the expiration dates on all of these items so nothing you may use is out of date. Another smart thing for parents to do is to take a CPR class if your children are frequently around water and to also freshen up on all other life saving skills they may need.
