I had to take my three month old to the doctor today because he has a fever. He isn't sure what it wrong with my little guy so we are going back in the morning but in the meantime, I'm not sure what to do with his Tylenol dosage. The doc have him a dose at 5 and told me not to give him any until 9:30. Well, he sleeps from 7:30 pm to 6 am on a typical day so I am not sure what to do. I asked the doc if I should wake him up but he was kind of vague in his answer and I really don't remember what he said since I was getting a lot of info. Should I wake him up to check his temp at 9:30? Thanks!

My guy never had a fever that young, but when he does have a fever I usually dose him before bed and let him sleep. I'd say if he keeps sleeping past 9:30 let him get the rest. If he's sleeping, he's recharging his body & probably comfortable enough without the Tylenol. If he wakes up, you can take his temperature and give him another dose (we've done this before).
I hope he's feeling better soon and it's nothing too serious! Sick babies are never fun
