1. Diapers - Although we use cloth diapers the majority of time, we have included disposable diapers in our kit. If we have a limited supply of water available to us, I would rather use that for drinking or cooking than washing diapers. There are many eco-friendly disposable diapers in the market, like the ones from Seventh Generation pictured above.
2. Food - I make Little B's food. However, if we are going to be displaced and do not have access to a kitchen to prepare his food, the second best thing is an organic pouch. I've tasted the Happy Baby food pouches and they are yummy. I just have to remember to check the expiration date as these are not real emergency kit food that lasts up to 15 years.
3. Bodywash - Soap is always a good thing to have in an emergency situation. We do have alcohol prep and other things to sterilize and get the germs out in our first aid kit, but I wouldn't wash Little B's entire body with them. I just discovered the Seventh Generation body wash and shampoo at Target. Similar to other Seventh Generation products, it's made with natural ingredients.
4. Soothing cream - We are fans of Episencial® because they make products with natural and organic ingredients. They also smell good. We've used the soothing cream for after sun exposure and dry skin irritation.
5. Wipes - The Kirkland brand of wipes is eco-friendly. They are made with Tencel®, a renewable resource, and biodegradable. They are hypoallergenic, contains Vitamin E, and alcohol free. This is the brand we used for Big B when he was in diapers and they work very well.
7. Reusable bag - The reusable bag is what the entire kit is contained in. Although I wish it were red, it's the bag that we have handy. The handles are long enough so I can carry it on one shoulder and be hands-free to carry Little B.
8. Burp cloths - These are just multi-purpose cloths for burping or wiping. These adorable cloths are from EcoGeek Boutique™ and are made with left-over fabric that otherwise would have been thrown in the landfill.
9. Baltic amber - Baltic amber is a natural resin and analgesic. Since Little B started teething, he's worn a baltic amber necklace for pain associated with teething.
I would love to hear what your family has included in your disaster kit for kids. Do you have must-have products that I should add to our kit?
