Update!! Sick newborn
**Update 2: They sent us home. They said if she was 8 weeks, though would have admitted her, but since she's 9 weeks, they didn't. They told me to bring her back if she is having trouble breathing or stops eating.

I was told anything above 100 is considered high.

Could be croup I would take them both in because the cough can be causing swelling /:

Ok, so should I call them now (it's Sunday night so it would be after hours)? I definitely plan on taking them in tomorrow, I just am not sure if I need to call them now.

Call now...they like babies that young with a fever to be seen asap.

Call them and take them in. I would just cover all of my bases.
Ashley Roan·
I just took it again and it went down to 100.1. I'll call to be safe.
Ashley Roan·
Back up to 100.4. The doctor hasn't called me back yet. If I don't hear from them in 5 minutes, I'm taking her in.

I have been tending to two sick little ones too.. same situation.. my 15m got my 2w old sick... samevsymptoms... so far fever not above 100.0 was told to go in for anything 100.4 and above .. infants can develop pneumonia very quick.. and I wouldn't know cause she sleeps all the time as it is .. i hope that things are getting better for them. I do know that I took a few days feeling like a horrible mother and feeling so desperate for the baby. So sad... we are just running humidifier.. sleeping upright.. and I got a temple scanner thermometer to take temp frequently without disturbing dd... i been taking a log of eating and bms.. so if I do need to go to ER I will be able to reference . Hope they are better soon. It sucks. Sorry!!

Try childrens Sudafed. .05 ml. Not 5 not 1,
0.05 mls. My 9 week old got a horrible sickness and that's what my dr told me to give him. It should break the fever too
