As a first-time mother, I always want to make sure
that I have everything that I need to protect my baby. I made sure that I will
always come prepared for any given circumstances, whether at home or on the
road.
Two of my most favorite purchases is the first aid box for
our home and the handy
first aid kit for our travels that I both bought online.
Since my baby is just starting to become more mobile, I
am aware that she might encounter a few accidents while she begins to explore
her surroundings. Just the other day, she accidentally fell off the bed and
scrapped her elbow on the edge.
Instead of panicking, I managed to stay calm and
assess the damage. When I noticed that there is a little abrasion on her elbow,
I picked her up and went straight to the bathroom to wash her wound. Then I
took out the antiseptic care cream from the first aid box and apply a little on
her elbow.
I decided to put a plaster to keep her from scratching
her wound. Good thing all these items are included in the first
aid contents that I purchased from a reliable pharmaceutical supply store
online. With the help of these items, I was able to calm by crying baby and
treat her wound without having to go to the hospital.
Meanwhile, I also proved that a travel-sized first aid
kit is a must-have especially if you love to play outdoors.
One time, my husband and I took our baby to a park
near our apartment. We placed a wide mat on the grass so our child can have a
huge space to crawl and an area where we can chill and lie down.
But my husband accidentally stepped on a broken glass
when he took off his sneakers. This caused him to have a small cut in between
his toes. Good thing I bought our first aid kit for traveling, which allowed me
to tend to his wounds immediately.
After cleaning his wound using an antiseptic wipe, I
covered it with a wound pad and secured it with a Hand pore tape. This
temporarily stopped his bleeding until we arrived at the hospital’s emergency
room to have his cut stitched by a doctor.
If I do not have my travel first aid kit with me at
that time, his wound may be exposed to a lot of germs before we can even reach
the hospital. It would also be a messy car ride if I was not able to stop it
from bleeding.
Both kits contain highly useful products that even
non-medical practitioners can use in cases of emergency. Mothers like me can
finally have our peace of mind since these kits come with all the items needed
to care for minor injuries. My home kit even comes with a pair of scissors for
cutting tapes and gauze pads.
