Charlie woke up tonight at 10:45 crying so hard... he had a 102 fever! He's better after some Tylenol... hopefully he can fall asleep again soon. Cuz I sure would love to get some sleep!
What do you do when your toddler has a fever in the middle of the night? Do you stay up with your LO, or do you give them Tylenol and go back to bed once the temperature has come down?

He always ends up in our bed. We give him meds and then he sleeps in our bed for the rest of the night. Hope charlie feels better!

I either sleep in the recliner in her room or take her into our bed after I give her some tylenol. Fevers change so quickly, I like to be close by to either add or take away layers so that she's comfortable.

Anytime LO wakes up with a fever over 102, we do 4 things: Immediately give Tylenol, give her a room temp. bath (for about 10 mins.), let her cuddle with mom or dad on the couch for about 10 mins. , retake her temp ,then put her back in bed. It's a regimen she seems to find comfort in. Boy does she loves those baths!

We've never had to deal with this in the night, but I hope Charlie feels better soon.

Oh no! It happened to us one time and I think I gave her meds, cuddles, and put her back to sleep in her crib once she was sleepy again.

Oh no poor Charlie!!! Mavrick actually woke up twice two night ago crying in pain. No fever just intense cramping. I don't know what could of caused it seeing he wasn't constipated. I actually got in bed with him rubbed his tummy (both times) and waited until he fell back asleep.
When he has fever, we give him meds and usually he wants milk and he goes back to bed. Other times he stays up for about 45 minsbefore going back to bed. Really depends.
But one things for sure. A sick baby/toddler is no fun!

Poor Charlie!!!!!
I would give my LO tylenol and co-sleep to make sure she's ok.
