Dr. Carey's Baby Care Kit Review and Giveaway!

You can read and register and plan for a baby all you want. But when he comes home, you have probably forgotten something and wish you had it right then and there. For me, it was a nasal aspirator. I had one but it was teeny tiny and didn't work and I thought I was doing it wrong. At one of Austin's weight checks I asked the doctor about it and she gave me one of theirs and showed me how to use it. I use it all the time and Austin LOVES it. He laughs when I do it. ;)

Dr. Carey's Baby Care Kit includes a nasal aspirator plus tons of other things that I know I reached for that first month or so. Included in this awesome kit is a GREAT book. It's full of pictures. I hate trying to decipher what my baby books were trying to describe a rash looking like. This book has all the things any baby book has PLUS great pictures. It was nice to see Austin's umbilical hernia looked like this super cool baby model's. The book also contains a section on baby development!

The kit also contains a great swaddle blanket. I loved those swaddle blankets from Babies R Us that velcro your baby's arms down, but Austin was more of a kicker than a arm flailer and those didn't keep his legs from waking him up. This blanket is big enough to swaddle your baby INCLUDING his feet, and not have to worry about loose ends being kicked out!

The kit has a really cool pacy. It's just like the soothie ones, but the part outside of his mouth is shaped differently and it has a hole to put pacy clips through, which the soothie ones do not! A&D ointment is included for those pesky diaper rashes, squirt bottle for saline solution to use with stuffy noses, nasal aspirator, and a thermometer. I was constantly obsessively checking Austin's temp when he came home since temp control was his biggest NICU issue. I still reach for it from time to time, but if you're like me, you misplace it. A lot. Having more than one on hand is smart!
