We have all been sick at my huse this weekend and tookthe girls to Dr today cause DD2 who is 3 months has a fever of 100.6 so the nurse wanted her in while we were there I asked them to look at DD1 and she has bronchitis.

I am so worried about DD2 with her fever since she's so sleepy and only nursed 6 times today and took maybe 1/2 oz from bottle when I was at work this morning. No really a lot of diaper changes either today. Dr said if it gets worse to call but not to give her Tylenol. I am so afraid to sleep I am worried abouther. What wiuld you do? She was also puking a ton this evening.

i would try to feed her and keep her by you i think i would still give them some tylenol my doc says its fine once they are 2 months i think it is just their preferance. I hope everything goes good and gets better. she is in my prayers

I feel your pain mama! Hugs! Maybe he said no Tylenol since it would mask a higher fever in such a young baby. When my 2 yr old had rotavirus this month she had a 103 plus fever for 8 days! I hardly slept the whole week since I monitored her all night. Watch for dehydration since she's vomiting. That can make her really sick, very quickly. If my baby stopped having wet diapers for several hours (check the Internet for a time frame to guide you) then I'd call the doc right away. Take care of your baby! We're here if you need support!

Good luck and i forgot to mention as long as the fever is below 102 they say that is fine it is fighting off infection but if it starts climbing then give the tylenol
