I'll definitely update you all. It's still like that this morning. Google tells me that soft spots change all the time, or it's meningitis. Evil google. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-baby-help-ftm-alert#post-1802457 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 06:49:49 +0000 sweetooth 1802457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: Hugs! FTM here too. I think you're doing all of the right things. And I'm glad you can take him in to the doctor's office today to get their opinion. I'm curious what you learn about the soft spot, will you share what the doctor tells you?</p> <p>Enjoy the snuggles. And I hope he feels better soon :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-baby-help-ftm-alert#post-1802451 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 06:39:45 +0000 artsyfartsy 1802451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still feeling poopy. Maybe even worse. So I'm waiting on the doctors office to open so I can call and get us in. At least I have a little snuggler out of all this. He normally doesn't like to snuggle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-baby-help-ftm-alert#post-1802371 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 00:44:56 +0000 sandy 1802371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Poor T :( hope he's better in the morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-baby-help-ftm-alert#post-1802357 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 00:09:37 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1802357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: Aww poor baby! A fever is a good sign that his body is doing what it's supposed to do and fighting off the infection. Knowing that always reassures me when my kids get fevers. Just lots of snuggles, liquids, and motrin to make him more comfortable. I also like to rub baby vicks on their chest and bottom of feet if they have any kind of congestion. Hope he feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-baby-help-ftm-alert#post-1801985 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 18:52:10 +0000 MoonMoon 1801985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: that's great, and I'm sure they'll reassure you that all is well. I'm interested to hear what it could be a symptom for, though! Their soft spots are so fascinating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-baby-help-ftm-alert#post-1801947 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 18:34:28 +0000 artsyfartsy 1801947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MoonMoon: It's really firm and bulging. Idk what that means. I'm definitely taking him in tomorrow just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-baby-help-ftm-alert#post-1801896 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 18:20:18 +0000 MoonMoon 1801896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried a lukewarm/tepid bath? That might make him feel better and lower his temp. His temp isn't high enough to be alarming, but if it stays high or increases you can always call the after hours nurse to check in again. </p> <p>I'm not sure about the protruding soft spot, though! Hope he feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-baby-help-ftm-alert#post-1801879 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 18:14:27 +0000 lovehoneybee 1801879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as his diapers are on track and he's acting normally I would just keep an eye on him (sorry, I KNOW how much the phrase "wait and see" sucks when it's your kid!). I'd be concerned if he started acting lethargic with even a low grade fever. Plus, at this age, he could be starting to teeth. E always ran a low-grade fever off and on when he was teething (and his first two popped in at 6 months or so?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-baby-help-ftm-alert#post-1801805 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 17:28:38 +0000 autumnlove 1801805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would give him Tylenol if his fever is over 100 and keep an eye on him. Hope he feels better soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-baby-help-ftm-alert#post-1801802 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 17:27:29 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1801802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: good! I think babies being sick is harder on the parents than on the baby! C is almost 3 and my heart still crumbles if she is sick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-baby-help-ftm-alert#post-1801796 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 17:24:03 +0000 loveisstrange 1801796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, he's acting and eating fine without having been given any medicine? My gut says he's probably fine. Id just keep a close eye on him and if he starts acting off or it gets higher, i'd take him to a doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-baby-help-ftm-alert#post-1801792 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 17:23:48 +0000 artsyfartsy 1801792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: We've hit that no problem. He's had 5 diaper changes so far today </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-baby-help-ftm-alert#post-1801791 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 17:22:46 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1801791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Snuggles, Tylenol, and keep an eye out on his wet/dirty diapers. I THINK at that age they wanted at least 3 wet diapers in 24 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-baby-help-ftm-alert#post-1801787 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 17:21:27 +0000 artsyfartsy 1801787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>T has been sleeping all day and feeling really poor. I've taken his temperature all day and it's stayed in the 99ish range. He had another 3 hour nap and I took his temp again and it was 100.4. He was warm from napping next to me so we waited and it was 100.7 at last check. </p> <p>I called his ped today and they said to watch him overnight and see if he developed any more symptoms. They said as long as his temp was 100.4 or lower it would be okay. They're out of the office now and I'm hesitant to take him to the ER...it doesn't seem like that big of a deal. He's nursing fine and right now playing and chatting in his bouncer even though he's fussy and I can tell not feeling so great. </p> <p>Advice? He's 5.5 months. :(</p> <p>ETA: his soft spot is protruding a bit too </p>
