Bringing Home Baby!

So, it's time to bring home that new baby you've been waiting for so long. Here are a few things you should have on hand when the baby arrives.

Thermometer
Eye Dropper and syringes for giving meds
Corn syrup, molasses, karo syrup - helps with seizures
Children's Benadryl Liquid Form
Pedialyte - replaces electrolytes and helps with dehydration
Laxatone - laxative, helps with rectal prolapse
Activated Charcoal - for accidental poisoning
Rubbing alcohol - sterilization of wounds
Cotton balls, Q Tips, gauze and bandages (Get pet variety Betadine bandages if possible)
Quick Stop - stops bleeding
KY Jelly, Vaseline - helps with rectal prolapse
Preparation H - helps with rectal prolapse
Bachs Rescue Remedy - reduces stress
Emergency phone numbers - You'll be surprised how hard it is to find a number you know by heart when there is an emergency.

You should have decided on a diet by now and have the baby's food all ready for him. You should have skunk proofed by now and have your emergency kit ready.

Your baby has gone through a stressful time. He has been separated from his family and transported to a strange place with other animals he doesn't know. The sounds are strange, the noises are strange. You will have a scared baby at first.
