Try not to stand by many unnecessary things, by the time you need them, they are expired. Just the common one like fever : fever patch, thermometer, paracetamol (make sure u know ur baby dosage, different weight different dosage) For insect bites or a bit of bruises when baby start crawling or walking knock here and there or fall down : zytrec (can use for allergies, anti-itch) , zam bak, aloe vera gel, cream for mosquitos bite (i got mine from PD, can't buy at counter but when the bite is serious, u need to see pd or gp for stronger cream to heal too) Basically, i don't standby anything, all this is what i need to use on and off. Till now (1-3 years old, we didn't use any or much plasters, without plaster heal faster too. ) and i never use alcohol swipe on my kids too, i only use it to disinfect the tools i'm using maybe like scissor that i cut their nails etc. if anything serious happen, i will have see gp first. And got everything from them.

When we're just out and about in Sg, my kit includes- antiseptic (non sting), band aids, bandage (3M has a variety), calamine/aloevera (to ease itching), alcohol wipes. If we are travelling, my kit includes (including the above) s- acetaminophen (fever med in syrup and suppository), thermometer, cooling pad (the one you put on the forehead). If your lo experiences anything beyond what you can handle, please go to the nearest hospital or clinic.

I tried to prepare a first aid kit for my newborn before but until now found that for infants and toddlers not very useful. So probably what you might need if u really want to prepare is on top of the adults version, add some Zam Bak, some recovery cream from Mustela, aloe vera gel. :)

I have the fever patch, some plasters, organic ointment for bites/bumps, antiseptic alcohol swaps. I only prepare medication for external use as I think we should only administer any oral medication as prescribed by the physician for a young baby
