Fever Post MMR jab 2nd dose
How long does the fever last? My son is at Day 6 already. Nurse said it will take at least 3 days but I understand some parents faced longer duration.
MMR and high fever
Hi parents, my son had his one year old vaccination - MMR on Tuesday. The nurse said that fever will come one week later but he suddenly developed a fever after his afternoon nap today (Thursday). I gave him ibuprofen earlier at 3pm since his fever was 38.8. His fever suddenly spiked to 39.4 and he was almost unconscious. I was so panicked. We gave him cold towel sponges and managed to bring it down to 38.6 now. KKH said that I should bring him down when his temperature is 41 and above. I’m just wondering whether there’s anyone with similar situation. I am monitoring his temperature very closely. This is so worrying.
Infantcare and windows
I have a question to ask about infantcare. Is it normal that their windows are usually closed? The one I sent my boy to has all their windows closed. I believe it’s to protect the little bubs and it’s totally understandable. I hear from my friend, a FTM too, that she drops by sometimes to check on her bubs from outside. So I wasn’t sure if all IFCs in SG generally have their windows closed? It’s a silly question but I am genuinely curious! As an FTM, I don’t really have any point of reference for this.
baby acne - any tips?
hi everyone, my 3 week old started to develop baby acne recently. it looks like milia. i understand this is normal and we can leave it alone, and it will go away eventually. any tips on topical cream that i can use in the meantime? I am currently using lucas papaw. is that ok or anyone has experience on the balm making if worse?
