She's definitely more lethargic than usual. I just took her temp, so I guess I'll see how she's acting when she wakes again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-take-temperature#post-665508 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 11:39:39 +0000 T.H.O.U. 665508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just go by what I feel and her mood. If she suddenly gets really sleep/lethargic and hot I take it again but otherwise I just check when it gets about time for her to be due for more medicine (4-6 hours). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-take-temperature#post-665488 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 11:36:08 +0000 photojane 665488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you suspect your LO is sick how frequently do you take his/her temperature? </p> <p>I suspect Sadie might be getting whatever sickness I have because she's been fussy &amp; won't let me put her down, which isn't like her. I've been holding her all day. Her rectal temp was 99.1, which is higher than normal, but not cause for concern. I know I shouldn't keep putting something in her bum, so I don't know how frequently I should check. I don't want it to get high enough to warrant a trip to the ER. </p>
