How to know if baby has fever?

Oh, I remember those days! My mom always said to check if their neck and back feel warm, but a digital thermometer is better. You can also look for flushed cheeks, increased breathing rate, or if they're refusing to feed. Give them light clothes and keep the room cool.

Dude, I don't have a baby, but my cousin just had one. She says just feel the forehead, and if it's hot, confirm with a thermometer. Also, if the baby is crying a lot or not sleeping, it could be a sign. Ask your pediatrician, they'll know best!

Initially, every warm forehead felt like a fever to me and I'd panic! But it's usually only a fever if the thermometer reads above 100.4F. Just keep an eye on other symptoms like reduced activity or poor feeding. Don't worry too much, babies often get mild fevers.

The most reliable way is definitely a rectal thermometer for infants, it gives the most accurate reading. Also look for changes in their behavior – if they're unusually quiet, sleepy, or just not themselves. Always trust your gut feeling as a parent.

Quickest way is just checking temperature with a thermometer. If it's above 100.4°F (38°C) rectally, then it's a fever. Don't rely on just touching the forehead, it can be misleading. Keep it simple and accurate.

Usually, if they feel warm to your touch, especially on the forehead or tummy, it's a good first hint. Then use a thermometer. You can try giving a light sponge bath with lukewarm water. But if the fever is high or stays for long, always go to the doctor, haan.

Ha ha, not sure if babies crave ice cream when they have fever like I do! But seriously, if they're not eating well or seem super sleepy/irritated, along with feeling warm, it's a sign. Check with a good thermometer.
