As a new parent, I always get paranoid if my baby’s down with a fever. I will be super sensitive if she is turning a little warm and will check her temperature to see if she has a fever. But it is very normal for a baby to have fever when they are teething or having infections, in which fever is how their body protect themselves from fighting with illness by increasing body temperature. As due to Jelly is a breastfeeding baby, I will not go to the doctor if her temperature is below 38.5°C and not more than 2 days, because breast milk contains antibody for her to fight infection and get well better.
The difficult part of a toddler having a fever is taking her temperature. I used to have a conventional digital
thermometer where we stick it at her armpit for measurement. It took 2-3 minutes and Jelly won’t stay still and I need to take several times to ensure accuracy. Lucky BRAUN’s new
thermometer (Model: IRT6030) makes taking temperature a lot easier! Only a few seconds and it is done! It’s more comfortable for Jelly as well. I can also take her temperature in a dark room since it has night light feature, unlike those conventional digital
thermometer as we need to on the light to see the readings. It also has pre-warmed tip technology so baby won’t be in shock while feeling the cold tip of the
thermometer, and it’s suitable to check on baby’s temperature while they are asleep.
