Important Medicines To Have At Home With A Newborn
This blog post is for those new mamas and mamas-to-be! I know you’re probably trying to get everything ready to bring your little one home and you might be wondering what medicine you want to have on hand those first few months. These are the three meds I used during those first four months with Mackenzie and I found them so helpful to have at home! I also carried around them in my diaper bag incase we were out and needed them!
**Always consult your pediatrician when giving your little one any type of medicine, but these are the three that worked wonders for us during the newborn stage!
- Gripe Water– Gripe water somehow miraculously takes away hiccups! I’d say it worked 9 out of 10 times for us and let me tell you, infants get hiccups A LOT (I’m talking multiple times a day!) This also works for gas and colic.
- Infant Tylenol– This is important to have on hand in case your little one spikes a fever. Your pediatrician will give you correct dosage at your check ups.
- Mylicon– We experienced a lot of discomfort with gas and this is especially helpful!
Some of you may be asking how I was able to give a newborn these meds and this medicine dispenser & pacifier was a life saver! We did have to start giving Mackenzie medicine for reflux at 2 months old and this saved us then too!
