Hey, hey, friends. How are ya? We’re gearing up for New Years. This year has been so fun with Penelope vs. last year when she was barely a human. In the meantime of all the New Year prep, though, I’m excited to team up with Johnson and Johnson today to share Penelope’s medicine cabinet essentials. I love taking a peek into spaces like this, and I thought it might be beneficial to share what’s in hers since, as a parent, I’m often at a loss for ideas, what I need, etc. I get that not every child has a medicine cabinet, but they do have a “stock” of goodies, I’m sure, in a basket, closet, etc. That’s basically what I’m sharing here.
Medicine Cabinet Essentials
- Lotion, Lotion, Lotion: We have tried SO many different lotions in the 2 years that P has been with us, but we ALWAYS go back to J&J. We use their regular JOHNSONS’s® Baby Lotion for daytime use and then the nighttime JOHNSON’s Bedtime® Baby Lotion (smells so good) at night because it has calming scents. Lotion is so important for kiddos this age because their skin NEEDS to stay hydrated!
- Neosporin® / Bandaids®: We love J&J’s kid-friendly bandaids and as any parent knows, sometimes they are used as “stickers” more than boo-boo healers. But when we do have a “situation,” we also always have Neosporin® on hand to make sure boo-boos feel better.
- Grooming Materials: Nail Clippers, hair brush, hair ties, etc. All necessities for keeping your little one looking fabulous (and not like what they actually are: tiny disasters).
- Thermometer / Medication: In case the cold strikes (or something else), we always have an array of different medications on hand like cough syrup, pain relievers, etc. I won’t go into brands because people should decide what’s best for them, but it’s good to always have a bottle on hand.
- Toothbrush: My father-in-law was a pediatric dentist, and it is SO important at this age (and earlier) to start the brushing process to instill good habits. We do this in the AM and PM with P and when it’s time, we’ll also incorporate J&J toothpaste, like Listerine®, (right now, it’s just water).
Not a ton but all necessities. Honestly, I cannot say enough about Johnson and Johnson and how much we love their products. They really are a family company; my sister actually works for them, and they have amazing family values, benefits, and products! I seriously use their nighttime JOHNSON’s Bedtime® Baby Lotion for myself sometimes (but don’t tell P).
