What's in Your Travel First Aid Kit?

Hi Mamas! We are getting ready to go on a family trip before baby 2 arrives. We have a 20 month old son who is becoming more adventurous by the day. :) Thankfully he's only had a few bumps and bruises and scrapes that we've been able to care for at home. That being said, I'm packing over the next few days and I'd like to get a first aid kit together, for things like stings, bites, scrapes, cuts, burns, whatever we need to be prepared, I suppose. Do you have a first aid kit? What's are the essentials? Thanks everyone!

Pain Meds. for Labor- What Did You Like?

Hi Moms, I would love a buncha information from you all on what everyone used to relieve the pain of labor (other then an epidural). I am hoping to do a totally unmedicated birth at Poudre Valley Hospital birthing center(doctors and nurses will attend); my mom and many other women who I know have had successful births w/o anesthesia/ pain meds. and I have a doula so I feel positive about this working out...but I started childbirth classes this week and I am getting nervous! I've been thinking about getting a back-up plan prepared;...

EpiPen For First Time Infant Nut Use?

Should we have an EpiPen on hand for the first time our 1-year old tries nuts? Hubby is in food service and they just had a guest die after incidental consumption. As I'm reading some of the responses below, it occurs to me that some comments are a bit "slap you in the face"... it's an honest question, I don't know, that's why I'm asking. She's 13 months old, has no allergies, nor does my husband or I or any of my siblings, his siblings, my parents or his parents. I just wondered... if she has an extreme reaction, what could I do?? If...

Epi-pen Jr. in an Airport (And Some Liquid Questions)

My 19 month old son has a food allergy and we must carry an epi-pen jr. around with us at all times. Is there any special consideration we have to take when traveling by plane? I can see security claiming that it is a weapon or something like that since there is a needle, but at the same time, it is a rescue medication that is required to be with my son at all times. Also, because my son's food allergy, he usually cannot eat food out. I will be packing him some of his favorites since we will be traveling for breakfast and lunch. Is...

An Always Sick Baby

I have a 15 month old son who has been sick almost constantly for 6 months now. First it was his ears so we got tubes put in. Now it is like his sinuses are always infected. What makes if worse is that he has asthma too. I don't know what to do. There is no over the counter meds that help. If anyone knows of some home remedies I would be interested in hearing about them.
