I just got the quickest phone call/update on my cousin who was induced yesterday. The baby was born an hour ago and mom and baby both have a high fever and the baby was born a little limp too. That's ALL the info I got for now.
I tried searching/googling but can't get any decent info. Does anyone know if that's serious or semi-normal or... ???

Re: Baby born with a fever... Possible reasons?
thanks SO much ladies. hopefully some antibiotics will do the trick for them too and everything will be okay
i'll update when i know more! thanks again!!!!!!!!
It's really, really common.
?Many reasons mom could have fever: epidural and infection are the two most common.
?Most common reason for the baby to be born warm: just came out of mom who was warm and baby got overheated.?
?They will most likely evaluate the baby for signs of infection.?
