When you are expecting a new baby, you know you'll need diapers, wipes, a crib, stroller, car seat, and countless other infant necessities. But what about a first aid kit? Your brain probably doesn't even want to consider the notion that harm may ever befall your precious little one, however accidents happen, and when they do, you'll want to be fully prepared with a top-of-the-line baby first aid kit.

Grooming your infant and caring for any medical needs are addressed equally with the American Red Cross Deluxe Health and Grooming Kit. Whether you need to brush baby hair and trim nails or take a temperature and dispense medicine, this kit has you covered when it comes to the basics. It has a bit of everything, all for under $20. That said, the pieces included are of average quality. You may want to spring for a nice thermometer, and you should probably add essential items like medicine and bandaids to the kit.
This kit aims to clean, soothe and comfort little ones who are under the weather. It is specifically designed to combat colds and includes booger wipes, vapor rubs, the popular NoseFrida nasal aspirator, and the MediFrida, a pain medicine dosing tool designed for accuracy.
Because this kit is for viruses and colds, you will likely need a second kit that meets more basic medical and grooming needs.
The makers of Me4Kidz sure packed a whole lot of medical supplies into a fairly small tube. This kit is jam-packed with ointments, gauze, bandages, cold packs, and plenty more. That said, it is missing key items that parents won't want to be without, like a thermometer and infant medicines. Unpacking it to find what you need and repacking it can be a bother, but if you are a patient person (and not a tornado-mom like myself), this kit is a steal at just under $10.
This is a great medical kit to keep in a car, at a second vacation home, or in a coach's sports bag.
The Welly First Aid Kit is special not only because of what is inside it, but also because of what the outside contains. While the meat and potatoes of the kit include items like a tape roll, pain medication, antibiotic packets, and bandaids, it is the actual case that makes it stand out.
The carrying kit is small, makes for simple storage, and is hard and waterproof. No matter what adventure you and baby are headed out on, you will be ready for anything with this bad boy.
Yes, yes, we know. Cuteness matters none when something is amiss with your precious child. That said, these baby first aid kits from PreparaKit are adorable. This is something small, cheap, and full of useful medical items that parents can throw in the diaper bag and forget about until medical attention is needed.
You may still want to purchase a more comprehensive at-home first aid kit for your family, but for on-the-road living, this one is the jam.
While this kit isn't designed with newborns or young babies in mind, it does address a family's hypothetical medical needs as a whole. For growing families and families with several children, consider purchasing this (remember, your infant won't stay tiny forever, and those bumps and bruises are only going to get bigger and scarier). With 326 pieces included, you will likely never have to buy another first aid kit. At least let's hope you never do!
Johnson & Johnson is a trusted brand by parents everywhere, so we have faith that their medical kit is going to do the trick when the bumps and bruises start piling up. It contains many must-have items for various in-case-of-emergency situations for a low price. Unfortunately, it is missing infant grooming items as well as a well-made thermometer. Since the price is peanuts, you could probably buy this and the American Red Cross Kit and basically be set for life.
Parenthood means that you will forever be hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. When those bumps, cuts, and bruises come around, and trust me they will, you'll want to have everything you need to make it all better right at your fingertips.
