The Complexity of Packing Eczema Child’s Bag
When It Comes to Packing Baby Bag
#1 – Ice (to cool the water and if necessary, for baby to play with to keep her fingers busy)
#2 – Water bottle with cool water + water bottle with normal water
#3 – Juice
#4 – 3 types of finger food to keep fingers busy – husks, fish crackers and grapes/cherries
#4 – Diapers, diaper changing mat, trash bag, baby wipes + one toy to keep fingers busy to prevent scratching when changing diaper
#5 – Tissue Paper
#6 – Fan to keep baby cool + can be used as distraction since baby likes to ‘catch the fan’
#7 – Antiseptic lotion, for use before applying steroid or just cleaning the baby from possible irritant
#8 – Moisturiser
#9 – Shoes, when baby is cranky and scratches, got to quickly wear her shoes for her to walk around
#10 – A Mom who has the strength to carry the heavy bag
