Shots and fever question

LaurenAsh23 · May 2014

Dd had her shots today (along with multiple others on this board it seems). She does have a fever. We have given her Tylenol and I have her a cooler bath than normal. Now my question is, is it still okay to swaddle her like I would normally for bed? Just worked if I don't that she will have a hard time sleeping. I've found conflicting answers when searching google

Try taking her temperature again. If it is normal then swaddle her. If she still has a fever I wouldn't swaddle her. But I'm not a doctor! Does your pedi have an after hours phone number? My LO also got her shots today but no fever. I hope your baby feels better soon!!!

As long as it's a low grade fever I'd go ahead and swaddle (under 38*C, sorry I'm not good with Fahrenheit), but I'd use a lightweight swaddler like an A&A blanket.

DS had his yesterday and was warm. I didn't actually take his temp to see what it was but he felt warmer than usual and was fussy. We use a sleep sack normally and I did leave it off of him last night so he wasn't too warm.
