Baby Kit
$20
The baby kit provides the basic needs for infants which can be life saving, When newborns are delivered, the health posts do not have the resources to provide a blanket for the baby. Sometimes, babies are wrapped in blankets too thick causing them to sweat. This can be lead to dehydration when the temperature is extremely warm. Without a blanket a baby can suffer from hypothermia. Another essential baby item is the baby thermometer because the body temperature is a sign of infection or virus and caretakers need to know when they should take their baby for medical attention.
