When you travel, what do you bring in your emergency/first aid kit?

We leave for the dominican republic in a few days. I just got the book "Travels with Baby" and the first aid kit list is sooooooooooooo long.

Some things they tell us to take:
Saline nasal spray
Aspirator with guard
Nail file
Thermometer
Quicklist of med dosages
Tylenol
Benadryl
Tummy Drops
Baby Vapor Rub
Antibiotic cream
Antiseptic
Protective skim cream or balm (they gave burt's bees as an example for chapped skin for tender bottoms from sandy swim diapers)

Do you take all this stuff with you on trips?
Is there anything else that is a must?

We've only been on driving trips with DS. This will be our first trip out of the country.

i don't take anything. maybe the baby tylenol since you're going out of country, but we've traveled several times with DS and just went to CVS if we needed something. i'd probably also bring allergy meds in case he ate something he never had and reacted to it.

some of those things on the list have me Chat Icon

Definately bring the baby Tylenol ( and maybe even Motrin)....My DS got sick last time we were in DR and getting kids Tylenol was VERY hard Chat Icon

I always take a little med kit when we travel, even though it's all been in the US and with plenty of access to stores Chat Icon I just have the stuff already and space wasn't an issue for us in packing, so I bring this stuff:

- thermometer
- vaseline for thermometer
- Tylenol, Motrin
- teething tablets (when she was teething)
- saline spray
- nail file & clippers

Never had Benadryl but it's a good idea!
