How do I know if my baby has a fever?

A feverish baby should never be taken lightly because a fever is a signal that your child's body is on high alert.


  • Use a baby rectal thermometer to take a reliable and accurate temperature reading.
  • If your baby is between 0 and 3 months old and has a temperature over 100,4 °F, see a doctor or go to the emergency room the same day.
  • After 3 months, a baby should be seen by a pediatrician if the fever persists beyond 48 hours.
  • If your baby has difficulty breathing, is drowsy or has a stiff neck, see a doctor immediately.

Word of advice♥️ first time moms when labor is near please pay attention to your body. Go to the hospital when YOUR BODY tells you to unless you're planning a home birth. I went to the hospital when my contractions were 10 minutes apart water NOT broken or anything and MOST would say that's too early. 2 hours later I was induced because my baby had a fever in the womb and his heart rate was not stable. Waiting another hour could have been the difference between my son's life. It could have been the difference between me delivering my baby on my living room floor or in my car. I JUST KNEW SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT. It was only GOD that I went to the hospital. Mommy's I would rather you be safe than sorry, the worst they can do is send you home if the time is not right ♥️♥️ whoever created that 311 or 511 rule for contractions (whatever it is ?) is full of bs because women are missing their chance to get epidural and are delivering in their cars. LISTEN TO YOUR BODIES AND GO TO THE DAMN HOSPITAL ♥️♥️ this is heavy on my heart because my son will be one year old tomorrow and who's to say that would be the case had I not listened to my body on that very day ??

Don't just give up. Maybe save yourself some time and see a specialist to pinpoint any issues.

Ugh! It’s official it’s my period. ?It’s hard to keep it together when you want to have a baby so bad. Especially since everyone around you are pregnant. The baby fever is real. I just feel so jealous and mad and idk!!! I really thought this was my month! I did everything right. Ive been taking prenatal vitamins, I’ve been working on eating better and walking more and got positive ovulation test and did it all around that time. I felt different this time but I guess it’s not my time. Idk how you women go through this every month! Any advise? Things to try. #period #sad #trying #notthismonth

This was me the last 9 months -1 year before I got pregnant. My bf was pulling out but we would have sex in my fertile window. My best friends were pregnant, having babies, everyone around me was having babies left & right. I stopped going to events because it was just so hard to be positive while I desperately wanted a baby & my own little family. My bf & I were having sex raw for a little over 3 years. But he always pulled out. He definitely was freaked to cum inside. Finally one day he came inside & boom! Pregnant! We were so shocked. We didn't think it would happen that fast. I prayed & prayed & prayed for my little baby but god just had his own plan for me. I'm praying for you. In time, it will happen! Don't give up hope ???

Other than Tylenol, what other things can we give to a 4 month old who has a cold. My baby had low fever in the middle of the night and now has a runny nose. Please help me out

Unfortunately there isn’t any other medication you can give him ☹️ But, running a HOT shower and sitting in the bathroom with him will help clear his nose & throat. Other than that all you can do is use a suction bulb and keep them comfortable ?
