I haven't seen any other symptoms. She is teething at the moment so it might be that but she never had such a temperature.
I gave her a dose of calpol. My mum says I should put the alarm at 12.00 and give her another dose then. DH thinks I should let her sleep.
I am pregnant and can't take any decisions. What would you do?

How is she today? Did you get any sleep?

Thanks for asking. We both slept OK until 1am when I woke up and went to touch her forehead which woke her up. As she was awake I took her temperature(39.1, so I gave heranother dose of Calpol (that's all I have in the house). She then would not resettle. She fell asleep on me but each time I put her down she woke and moaned. Basically I didn't get back to sleep until 5.
Anyway, when we both woke at 9, I took her temperature and it was 36.9!! She's completely back to normal if a bit tired.

I think it might have been her teeth. One of her teeth has come through. Yesterday was eventful as I found out the results of my CVS. All fine. Phewww.

No she has developmental delays and with food/liquid she won't take anything other than breastmilk in her mouth so ibuprofen is out the question.

I thought it was advised not to suddenly cool them down these days with cool flannels and stripping off? I might have got that wrong though.
She's only in a vest atm.
