Description
While we hope this is a kit you won’t need, most babies will get sick or hurt from time to time. So we worked with emergency room doctors (and parents) to help you feel prepared if and when that time comes. These hospital-grade medical supplies and soothers were ones they depended on in their daily practice.
The kit goes beyond the essentials and shares important information about how to use them, plus when to level up (call 9-1-1 or head to the ER). Consider it peace of mind packed in a box.
In the kit:
- Full-sized items
- Hospital-grade products
- Red flags to call 9-1-1 or go to the ER
- Infant/Toddler CPR card
- Step-by-step instructions written by emergency doctors
We separated the baby-care essentials and guidance into two groupings, Mend and Tend.
Note: This kit does not include Band-Aids, as they can be a choking hazard for babies and toddlers. Please see more about this below.
MEND
These products are for treating rashes and fever, and improving congestion. Also included: a Fever Medication Dosing Chart, Infant/Toddler CPR card and instructions on using the nasal suction and taking baby’s temperature.
Gauze 2x2 (4 packets)
Made from a rayon/polyester blend, this strong non-adherent sterile gauze wicks away blood and other fluids quickly.
Gauze 4x4 (4 packets)
Larger sterile gauze sponges made from 100% cotton for when more coverage is needed.
Surgical Lubricant (3 packets)
Pair this sterile lubricant with the rectal thermometer to help make the temperature-taking process much more comfortable for baby.
Alcohol Prep Pads (6 packets)
Saturated with 70% isopropyl alcohol, the pads remove bacteria from the rectal thermometer after use.
Rectal Digital Thermometer
You’ll get an accurate reading in 30-seconds on the large LCD display. Pair with the lubricant (included) before using. (Step-by-step guidance provided in the kit.)
Wellements Organic Chest & Foot Rub
Recommended for 3 months+, this relaxing rub soothes baby with calming scents of eucalyptus and lavender.
Z-Guard Skin Protectant Paste
A blend of petrolatum and zinc oxide that helps relieve diaper rash and create a protective barrier. Safe to use at every change, even on sensitive skin.
Saline Nasal Spray
This, combined with the Nasal Bulb, helps relieve baby congestion.
Nasal Bulb
Pair with the Nasal Spray to gently clear out stuffed-up noses. (Step-by-step guidance provided in the kit.)
TEND
These products are for grooming baby and relieving teething pain and tiredness. Also included: important information on cradle cap (more common than you might think!) and trimming those tiny newborn nails.

green sprouts Wooden Brush + Comb Set
Natural goat hair bristles smooth baby’s fine hair and massage scalps to help prevent cradle cap. The blunt-edged wooden comb has rounded teeth for removing toddler tangles.

Free of fragrance and dyes, this 100% mineral oil pairs with the plastic baby comb to loosen/remove cradle cap scales. It’s also soothing for baby massages.
Wellements Organic Vitamin D Drops
One drop provides the recommended daily dose of Vitamin D for breastfed babies (as determined by the American Academy of Pediatrics), which helps promote baby’s healthy growth and bone development.
dreambaby Baby Nail Scissors
These small safety scissors have comfortable handles and rounded tips for extra protection. (More tips in the kit.)
Safety 1st Gentle Care Emery Boards, 10 pack
Use these to smooth down any sharp edges after clipping.
Boogie Wipes Saline Nose Wipes
Made with aloe, chamomile and vitamin E, these gentle-on-skin wipes are an effective alternative to dry tissues. The natural saline formula breaks down dried boogers without irritation. Age: 0+
You might be wondering why this Kit doesn’t include Band-Aids. Our advising physician specifically advised against including bandages due to them being a choking hazard for babies and toddlers. Babies place hands and feet in their mouth as they explore the world, and bandages should not be applied to those areas. Bandages can also restrict circulation if wrapped too tightly. So what do you do if you need one? If possible, opt not to use one on minor cuts and scrapes (hold gauze until the bleeding stops). For larger cuts, seek medical attention.
