One of the worst things to face any parent is to have to run out in the middle of the night to search for a pharmacy where you can purchase baby medicine.

Here are some baby medicines and items that new parents should keep in their baby medicine bag mainly during travel.

  • Thermometer (AAP prefer digital ones)
 
  • Children's non-aspirin liquid pain reliever (acetaminophen or ibuprofen) for pain and fever reduction
 
  • Alcohol-free teething gel for babies four months and up
 
  • Topical calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream (1/2 percent) for insect bites and skin rashes
 
  • Vaseline to protect from diaper rash
 
  • Antibacterial ointment for cuts and for scrapes
 
  • Child-safe sunscreen lotion
 
  • Nasal aspirator bulb, and saline drops for stuffy noses
 
  • Mild liquid soap (not necessary to be antibacterial)
 
  • A dropper, oral needle-less syringe, or calibrated spoon for administering medicines
 
The nice to have:
 
  • Insect repellent
 
  • Rubbing alcohol to clean thermometers
 
  • Baby shampoo
 
  • A collection of adhesive bandage strips and gauze pads.
