Baby First Aid Essentials

Learn how to make your little one feel better with these Baby First Aid Tips.

My oldest child is quite the ruff and rugged type. After all, that's how most boys are. He loves testing himself to see if he can do things without help from mommy. That sure does scare me. I remember the first time he hit his head. Boy was I scared. I kept saying to him, (Which I think it was more for me not to panic) "It's OK, it's OK, it's OK." I called the doctor and lo and behold, after 5-10 minutes, my son was back to his daring ways. All was fine. He was just bruised.

All little ones are in the learning and exploring phase and they do not know their limitations. Therefore at some point, injuries will occur. So the best things to do are to be prepared and to know which injuries you can resolve at home and which ones warrant a trip to the doctor.

All people who are taking care of little ones need to be prepared for injuries. Not just parents, but also grandparents and whoever else that may take care of your child. So here are some common boo-boos that we parents face when raising little ones.

How do you react when your little one hurts himself?
I always go immediately to soothe my little one until he/she stops crying.
I wait for their reaction. I will only soothe my little one if he/she is crying.
I believe in independence, so my little one soothes himself/herself.
