We've only used the gas drops but I'm glad we have everything else on hand so when teething hits we can comfort LO quickly, unlike with the gas situation. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-iswas-in-your-newborns-medicine-cabinet#post-782559 Wed, 15 May 2013 09:59:35 +0000 sera_87 782559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're bfing you'll need vit d drops or spray.<br /> We have:<br /> Thermometer<br /> Nail clippers<br /> Liquid infant Tylenol<br /> Hylands teething tablets<br /> Snot sucker (never use)<br /> Vit d - both drops &amp; spray </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-iswas-in-your-newborns-medicine-cabinet#post-782539 Wed, 15 May 2013 09:56:08 +0000 lovehoneybee 782539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have: </p> <p>Saline spray<br /> Gas drops<br /> Vitamin D drops<br /> Fluoride drops that I'm horrible about remembering to give him<br /> Baby Advil<br /> Baby Tylenol<br /> Teething tablets<br /> Nail Clippers<br /> Thermometer<br /> Nosefrida </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-iswas-in-your-newborns-medicine-cabinet#post-782506 Wed, 15 May 2013 09:47:40 +0000 T.H.O.U. 782506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would make sure to have both infant motrin and tylenol.
