Toddler First Aid Kit

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and DripDrop®, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #DrinkDripDrop #DripDropHydrates http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstVI love this simple toddler first aid kit! Now I'll be prepared in advance for any sickness or toddler ailment! #DrinkDripDrop #DripDropHydrates #Pmedia #ad If you follow me on Instagram, then you know that Lydia got the stomach flu a couple weekends ago.  It came on out of nowhere, and it WASN’T pretty.  She couldn’t keep food or liquid down for most of a day, and of course…..hubby was at work for the day.  Thank goodness, I’m one of the last of my friends to have kids……and I actually listened to experienced mommies.  I made a streamlined list of all the things mommies suggested keeping on hand in our toddler first aid kit…..and let me tell you, I’ve used just about all of them at some point! Keep reading, cause I created a printable version for y’all…..and trust…..you’ll be happy you stocked your own toddler first aid kit!

I love this simple toddler first aid kit! Now I'll be prepared in advance for any sickness or toddler ailment! #DrinkDripDrop #DripDropHydrates #Pmedia #adA few of my favorite items from our toddler first aid kit:

– DripDrop Hydration Powder : I picked this up recently in the baby aisle at CVS after a friend recommended it….the best part about it? It’s great for helping the entire family (including babies age one and older) hydrated and treating mild to moderate dehydration.  After Lydia’s stomach bug, she guzzled DripDrop like a champ.  She loved the lemon flavor, and it really helped to rehydrate her and get her back to her normal self.  I love how easy the packets are to store, and we have a couple in our diaper bag now in case of sickness emergencies or for the eventual hot summer days!

– digital thermometer : I HATED taking Lydia’s temperature.  Babies don’t exactly love it either.  It took forever, and was a huge production.  Our digital no touch thermometer has been a game changer.  It takes under a minute, and is painless for all of us.

-liquid pain reliever : We are currently in teething town. It’s not fun. I mean, would you like to feel teeth cutting through your gums? Lydia’s usually fine during the day, and does well with teething rings and toys.  We do give her liquid pain reliever on the nights her teeth are actually cutting through….and it helps a TON. I’d suggest having some on hand for teething and in case of fevers.

    I love our no-touch thermometer too — you can even use it while your child is asleep! I love the other suggestions you have as well. It makes life so much easier to know where everything is when you’ve got a sick child in the middle of the night.

    That DripDrop stuff sounds seriously great to have around for times when stuff like the stomach bug goes around and you can’t help but become dehydrated so easily.

    Having a good first aid kit for toddlers is soooo important, because they can’t use or take a lot of things we use as adults! I love the DripDrop powder because I can easily throw it in a bottle of water and give it to the baby without fuss!

    It is essential to be prepared when your little ones get sick. Having a kit in place is a great idea. You definitely don’t want to be digging for thermometers and fever reducer when you have a sick an crying toddler on your hands.

    I could not imagine caring for a child with the stomach flu. It must be incredibly miserable for them. I would have never thought that they had dehydration powder for lil’ ones.

I did it.⠀ ⠀ 🛏I spent Saturday night blissf I did it.⠀
⠀
🛏I spent Saturday night blissfully alone at a local hotel.  And now? I want to talk about it.  I was floored by the varied reactions when I mentioned doing this last week.  A lot of people seemed to love the idea, but a solid amount? Asked why.  Said it was a waste.  Said it was “too much”. So let’s unpack that.⠀
⠀
🛏First of all, of course different things are of value to different people.  This may not be of value to you and that is OK.  For me? After a year of staying at home here in California (and yes, it’s still going here with full time virtual school for Lydia)…..I felt like I needed an evening alone to decompress, to rest, and to be more present for my family.  I watched a million episodes of Scandal (how did I never watch this show??), got take out delivered, slept in, and it MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE.⠀
⠀
🛏Does it make me a bad mother? A bad wife? Irresponsible with money or time? To spend an evening alone? That’s sort of what society tells us, right? And truth be told, I almost cancelled.  Was it too much? Was I being dramatic? Or ridiculous?  But the refreshed me today? Says it was just what I needed.⠀
⠀
🛏This is your daily dose of encouragement to take care of yourself and put your oxygen mask on first so you can truly be present for those you love.  I promise, it makes a difference. #troopselflove

❤️It’s Random Acts of Kindness Day…..and I have a question for you…….when was the last time you did an act of kindness for YOURSELF?⠀
⠀
💕I was talking on stories the other day about booking a hotel room to get away for a night this weekend.  ALONE.  The reaction was mixed.  Some said it was a great idea. Some said it was selfish or unnecessary. But, what if it’s simply to do something for myself?  What if it leaves me refreshed and more able to show up for those I love? That’s what kindness to yourself does.⠀
