Essential Products for Babies - Medicines and Ointments

As a father of three, I have tried many products for babies and toddlers.  Here's my best of list.

1. Baby Oil - great for cleaning crusty noses and faces, moisturizing dry scalps and skin, and a great massage and marital aid

2. Desitin - good diaper rash creme, you may use another with same active ingredients.

3. Neosporin - some diaper rashes are infections, and rash cream won’t fix them

4. Baby Orajel – when the baby is having teething pain, and they are too young for teething tablets – use this and the next item!

5.  Infant Tylenol – all other pain relievers are not safe, but this one might be.

6. Gripe water (natural, will help calm them for sleep.  Ahhh.) (About gripe water)

7. Teething Tablets

8. Senna Laxative (Little Tummys for babies, Fletchers for kids)

So, what have I missed?

I like good ole Vaseline for lotsa skin related stuff, too :) Especially if they have a red nose from allergies, or red and chapped lips. (Can you tell we have this problem this time of year?)
