From colic relief to children's pain relief, here's what to keep in your baby health cabinet.
Building a baby health cabinet
The early months of parenthood come with plenty of surprises. Having a few trusted essentials at home can save a stressful late-night trip to the shops.
What to keep on hand
- Infant paracetamol suspension for pain and fever
- Colic relief drops to ease trapped wind after feeds
- A gentle healing cream for nappy rash and minor irritation
- Sensitive baby wipes for everyday cleaning
- Children's ibuprofen for teething pain and post-vaccination discomfort
Dosing matters
Always use the dosing syringe or pipette provided, follow the age and weight guidance on the label, and never give two paracetamol-based products at the same time.
When to seek help
Trust your instincts — if your baby seems unusually unwell, has a high fever, or you're at all worried, contact your GP, health visitor or NHS 111 promptly.
Our pharmacists are always on hand for friendly, practical advice on baby health.
