You feel like you need to get the grooming kit like so...
It includes tiny nail files, nail scissors, safety nail clippers, comb, and brush.
We never use it. Ok, we used the brush and comb but then we lost the brush in the hotel in L.A. and had to buy another brush and comb set.
The nail clippers are too dull to comfortably use - we just got a brand new less than a dollar pair of Trim nail clippers which work perfectly when I can get her to sit still long enough to trim her nails.
The nail files are too small to be comfortable so I just use mine when I feel it's necessary. I didn't try to use the nail scissors since I found the clippers to be easier.
And then there is the "essential" heathcare kit.
This kit includes:
- Nasal aspirator - they give you better ones in the hospital.
- medicine syringe - you get one every time you get a prescription and one comes with every package of the infant tylenol/ibuprofen
- tooth brush - they are really cheap to buy and we got a crazy looking one from our dentist.
- thermometer - you probably should have an oral/rectal thermometer but you don't really want to have to use it.
- and a few other things that we've never used.
Ok... thermometer. We have a Braun Ear Thermometer. LOVE IT! It's just so easy to use and quick. I don't think I would get anything different unless they made this one better (which they might have since the description in the link is slightly different than what we have). Namely, if they made the display light up - you can't read it in the dark. My mom and I had to take Pea to the ER last weekend because she was running about 105.1 and the ER doctor told me to not bother with the temporal ones (the one you swipe across the forehead) because they give falsely high readings.
Oh, and our girl is weird and likes to take her medicine.
