Along with diapers, I would suggest Desitin, or Boudreaux’s Butt Paste for diaper rash. I would imagine that babies who have to wear a different brand diaper could easily get a rash, or likely already have a rash if the family was misplaced and babies had to wear a soggy diaper for any length of time.
Also how about work socks that are heavy duty for rescuers along with boots, I saw that size 10 for men is needed, I would guess the average men’s sizes. Women too I think.
