Moms, I need your help putting something together.

[Deja Vu]

My cousin is expecting his first baby, and his girlfriend is young and they don't have a lot of dough. So, I want to put together a tackle box full of essential things that are pain in the butt to buy when you need them.
I am looking for ideas....not the first ones that come to mind but those out of the way things you learn along the line.

The first one that came to mind for me that, I had to buy after a trip to the doctor was a tube of monistat for what I thought was a really tough diaper rash.

I know you all will be good at this!

Can't of coarse forget the receiving blankets, which there never are enough of, and booties and the little mittens so the baby doesn't scratch himself.

Clear Karo syrup for upset tummy....

Mylicon gas drops

Infant Tylenol drops! I needed them one night and did not have any...had to go out and get some.
If it's a boy some petroleum jelly- if they are circumcising- will come in handy. The kind in the easy to dispense tubes are best.

nothing like running out to walmart at 3am for a thermometer and some infant tylenol...

Baby powder-my dd couldn't use any diaper creams because of allergies. Baby powder was the only thing we could use on diaper rash.

Tylenol suppositories for when they can't keep anything down and are running a fever. It wont upset their tummies and work super fast.
