Editorial Review
With its neat zippered nylon case, this kit is perfect for travel or for storage in the nursery. The kit's digital thermometer can take a temperature orally, rectally, or from the underarm area, gets a reading in approximately 60 to 90 seconds, and has an automatic shutoff function. The oral medicine syringe and medicine spoon are fairly standard in design but will definitely help make dispensing medicine easy and accurate. Of course, the nasal aspirator is a must for stuffy noses not yet trained in the intricacies of blowing. The kit also includes a nail clipper with a large extended grip to make clipping baby's nails easier on the parent. The case includes pockets to store important health care or emergency information. --Jane Snyder

I registered for this without really thinking things through. I have been disappointed with the quality of the items. We had to use the medicine dropper when our son was only 2 weeks old, and it's very difficult to use. If you don't get the medicine dosage right the very first time, it's almost impossible to adjust it. Way too much air gets trapped inside. Additionally, it's hard to clean. As for the bulb syringe- use the one you get from the hospital. It's soooo much better. The themometer is accurate, but it doesn't beep!!! I got very frustrated trying to take my son's temperature under his arm. He was crying, and I had to keep staring at the small digital screen as well as hold him down. The nail clippers are okay. I do like how they have a rather ergonomic handle. Instead of buying a kit, buy what you need separately. You'll pay more, but you'll get a better product.

This kit includes all the essentials for treating a sick baby. However, the nasal aspirator will be too small as your baby gets older, so you will need a full-sized aspirator eventually.Also, the medicine spoon will be useless until your infant is eating solid foods, because the liquid will just spill everywhere (the baby doesn't know how to eat off a spoon yet). Therefore, you will find the syringe (eyedropper-type device) more useful for a young infant. Finally, when the baby is very young, you won't really need the nailclippers, the nails will basically peel off. All of that being true, this is a good price for a set like this, and you will use everything in the set. Just not all at the same stages of development.

The item that are in this kit except for the nasal aspirator are great. The nassal aspirator is really not big enough for a baby that has a true cold. The larger ones are far better. The other items especially the nail clippers are great.

Before you put this item on your necessity list, read all the reviews (including mine) and then decide if this product is really worth it. If it is, then buy the generic brand - "Especially For Baby". The price is cheaper and the colors are nicer. The only items I use from this kit are the nail clippers (although you can peel your baby's nails right off) and the nasal aspirator (most hospitals provide you with a larger sized one before you leave the hospital, and that one works much better) - everything else isn't really necessary until your baby is a little older. I was a little disappointed when I received this item. In my opinion, it wasn't worth the price and the quality was not that great.

This is not a bad product, but it is not very useful. The only thing I have used so far was the thermometer - and it works well. You receive a medicine dropper with any prescription requiring one. The nasal aspirator you receive before leaving the hospital is the best, do not lose this - I have not even used the one in this set. The nail clippers will probably be more useful when my daughter gets older, I tried using them and could not cut the nails short enough so she would not scratch herself. (we use emery boards.) The medicine spoon may come in handy, but she is still too young to use it (3 months).
