What are some first aid essentials for a baby ?

My daughter is 6 months and I want to start a first aid kit. What are some essential parts of a first aid kit besides band aids alcohol etc ?

1. benedryl for allergic reactions, baby tylenol or motrin, orajel, neosporin, different size band-aids, one of those cold-pack things....I'm sure you can check babies r us for a pre-packaged first aid kit and just purchase the same items from the drug store for 1/2 the price.
2. In addition to what she said, don't forget Syrup of Ipecac (sp). The stuff that causes vomiting.
3. Antibiotic ointment Burn ointment Eye wash solution Thermometer Ice pack Tweezers Pain and fever reducers Laxative Nasal aspirator bulb Rehydration fluids Diaper rash cream Nose drops Medication for gas Medicine for diarrhea Teething gel
