Keep your baby hydrated by providing plenty of fluids. Fevers cause excessive sweating and, therefore, the loss of fluids is greater and could lead to dehydration. Talk to your doctor about offering an electrolyte solution such as Pedialyte in addition to formula.  Avoid feeding your baby fruit or apple juice or dilute it with fifty percent water. Popsicles or gelatin are also acceptable. Avoid caffeinated drinks because they force urination and the loss of fluids. Offer your baby his usual diet, but realize that your baby may not want to eat as much when he has a fever. Try offering bland foods such as breads, crackers, pastas, and oatmeal. Infants who are breastfeeding should only drink breast milk. Keep them hydrated by giving them plenty of breast milk. Never force your baby to eat if food is refused. Do not overexert your baby or her temperature might rise. Instead, place your baby in a room with a comfortable temperature between 70°F to 74°F (21.1°C to 23.3°C).  Avoid running the heater nonstop so that your baby does not overheat. Same with the air conditioner. Keep it off so your baby doesn't shiver and raise her temperature. Even heavy clothing on a baby can raise his temperature. Overdressing your baby can trap heat making your baby more miserable. Keep your baby comfortably dressed and cover him with a light blanket if the temperature is too cold in the room or you notice your baby shivering. Adjust the room temperature as needed to keep your baby comfortable. Not too hot and not too cold, a lukewarm bath could alleviate a fever.  If you plan to give your baby a lukewarm bath, give her some medicine to make sure her temperature does not rise after getting out of the bath. Avoid cold baths, ice, or alcohol rubs. These will cause your baby to shiver and make the situation even worse. Be cautious giving your baby Tylenol, Advil, or Motrin. Read the label carefully to make sure you are giving the right dosage for the right age. It might even be a good idea to consult a healthcare professional before giving your baby a fever medication.  Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) is usually what the doctor or nurse recommends for fevers in babies. If your baby is under three months old, call the doctor before administering medication. Do not go over the recommended dosage or there is a potential it could cause liver or kidney damage, or worse, it could be fatal. Acetaminophen can be taken every four to six hours and Ibuprofen can be taken every six to eight hours as long as baby is older than six months old. Keep track of what medicine you give, how much, and when you gave it, so as not to overdose your child. For temperatures under 102°F (38.9°C), try to refrain from using medication unless the doctor or nurse suggests it. Never give aspirin to babies it could trigger a rare, but fatal, disorder called Reye's syndrome.
