Costumer Reviews
I couldn't disagree MORE with the reviewer that blasted this kit as unnecesary. Like that reviewer, I have had children in different states. I have even given birth in military hospitals (notorious for the freebies, especially from NMCRS) and aside from diaper bags filled with formula and coupons, all I got was the nasal aspirator and the shampoo brush (which as one review noted, is not included in the kit but is indispensable).
And even if you DO get items from a hospital, AS a parent of three children items NEVER seem to be where they are supposed to be at the exact moment you need them. And tearing nails is NOT the way my doctor recommended...she says tearing could cause hangnails, yes hangnails on a newborn. The best way is the blunt end scissors. But even regular nail clippers come in handy a few months down the road.
As for digital thermometers...love them. Ear thermometers are useless if your child has an ear infection (the cause of most baby illnesses) and your pediatrician most likely does a rectal temp on your newborn. As for a digital not lasting...My 6 year old has hers from infancy, my 5 year old has his own also from infancy, and now my newborn has his own. In my experience, they do last.
This kit is the perfect kit, for a first time parent, an experienced parent, or to keep at grandma and grandpa's house. There ARE less desirable kits out there, those that are filled with sample soaps, lotions, etc. But this one has your basics, and for the price (lets not forget this a great gift item under [$$$]) you get MORE than you pay for.
I suppose first-time parents think that this is the best collection of baby necessities available! But, what first-time parents don't realize is that you'll get the most important of these things from your hospital when you leave after having baby! I've volunteered and had children at several hospitals in several states, and the going-home kit always included a nasal aspirator, a little brush and comb set, a bunch of alcohol wipes to care for the umbilical stub, a shampoo scrub brush (not included in this set, but fabulous, especially for cradle-cap babies), and a little baby nail clipper. What's included that is unnecessary:
emery boards/scissors: baby's nails stay soft for most of the first year, to the point that you can just peel off the overgrown part of the nail easily, without having to contend with a wriggling baby in one arm and a sharp implement in the other hand
medicine dropper/spoon: should your baby require liquid antibiotics, the medicine will come with a syringe-type applicator, which you place into baby's mouth and then press the plunger to dispense. Use a spoon? Baby will swat it out of your hand and you'll have pink and white stains everywhere. Use a medicine dropper? Very slow and you have to keep refilling the bulb. Your baby's meds will come with the dispenser, so these are unnecessary.
temperature tester: very very inaccurate, especially since babies are still not quite self-regulating when it comes to body temperature.
digital thermometer: do yourself a favor and register for an ear thermometer. It will last much longer -- years! -- and can be used for an older child as well as a wriggly, sick baby. Believe me, baby will not quietly say AH and put the thermometer in his mouth when he feels awful... and just try putting it in the other way!
toothbrush: bristles are NOT recommended for children under 2. Instead, toothbrushes that have rubber tips/points are recommended, to massage teething gums and be gentle on new baby teeth.
Don't waste your money buying this kit. Get what you can as a gift fro your hospital, invest in a good ear thermometer, and get one of the sets of grow-up-with-baby toothbrushes that "at a baby store"
