The more used to it they get, the better. Wagon Jr. didn't fight me about it until well after he turned 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prompts-you-to-take-your-los-temperature#post-329319 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 16:33:57 +0000 winniebee 329319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fussier than normal for no apparent reason - have taken it just a few times though. His hea always feels warm to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prompts-you-to-take-your-los-temperature#post-329288 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 15:29:38 +0000 looch 329288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lethargic behavior is usually a sign for us. My son's super active, when he's laying around and has that look where he's staring off into space is a clue something isn't right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prompts-you-to-take-your-los-temperature#post-329285 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 15:26:57 +0000 chopsuey 329285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If her forehead feels warm I'll take her temp </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prompts-you-to-take-your-los-temperature#post-329280 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 15:09:38 +0000 littleveesmommy 329280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If V's forehead feels warm or she is acting funny. The first time I took her temp she was 21 days old and woke up screaming plus felt warm - she was at 100.4 and ended up in ER due to her age and it was on a Friday at 10pm. We were hospitalized for two days while they checked to make sure it wasn't a bacterial infection. Now whenever I think something is wrong I check right away! One time in the hospital is one more time than I'd like as it was a very scary experience for new parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prompts-you-to-take-your-los-temperature#post-329119 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 11:06:29 +0000 erwoo 329119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If any part of her head feels a little warmer than normal I will use my forearm to feel his forehead. If it feels warm, then I will take his temp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prompts-you-to-take-your-los-temperature#post-329103 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 10:50:53 +0000 prettylizy 329103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually is shes acting strange I'll check her temp. Or if she looks pinkish I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prompts-you-to-take-your-los-temperature#post-329100 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 10:49:45 +0000 mediagirl 329100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it just the warmth of their head? Or is it if they're acting funny? I've taken M's temp twice in her short life and neither time was she anywhere near feverish. </p>
