Do you have a first aid kit for your kids and what do you have in it?

We are starting to get bumps, bruises, cuts and grazes from exploring and being outside and mobile. Not sure what is ok to put on young skin.

We dont have a specific first aid kit for DS, but we've always got things like an ice pack and paracetamol on hand. We haven't had any major incidents yet, but minor scratches, bumps and bruises etc and they all get healed with a kiss on the affected area, a cuddle and milk.
Breastmilk is great for any cuts you are worried about

I'm worried about grazes getting infected from getting dirt in them.

Calendula and Arnica cream. Both nice and natural. But a cuddle and some milk seem effective for the spills and tumbles to date.

Most grazes can be washed out with water. If you're worried you could get some saline solution to wash grazes out with?

I use Crystacide on the more major scrapes on DD. Kind of like Savalon (used to prevent infection) but heaps more effective. The minor scrapes I just wash with cold water.
