Toddlers become increasingly more social and active as they grow, but this also means contacting more germs and frequency of falling sick or getting injured goes up as well. In a home with a toddler, it is essential to have some basic first-aid and medicines in the medicine cabinet. Ensure that it well-stocked and keep checking from time-to-time to replace supplies as they get over or expire.

For babies, basic first aid includes cleaning and covering minor cuts, applying a mild antiseptic, using a cool compress for bumps, and seeking medical help for more serious injuries or illnesses. Always consult a healthcare professional for specific advice based on your baby's condition. For fever in babies, you can use infant acetaminophen or ibuprofen under the guidance of a pediatrician. For stomach pain, keep the baby hydrated with small sips of water or electrolyte solution. Consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice and to rule out any underlying issues.

As soon as your baby starts sitting and moving, ensure that you have this health kit or first-aid kit ready and handy.
