In my St Johns Ambulance first aid for kids course we were told not to put them in a bath at all - just to wipe them over with a damp facewasher. Not even in tepid water.

Yeah - I used to teach that course. There is a lot of contradictory advice between First Aid and Health Care professionals. I wouldn't hesitate to pop a child into a tepid bath if they had a fever but you have to do what you're comfortable with.

Jen - you sound really worried hon. Instead of stressing over it, call the dr and make an appointment for this afternoon. If he picks up you can cancel it, otherwise you have an appointment to get him checked. If you leave it until later you might not get an appointment for today. Better to get some peace of mind that stress about it.

Hang in their gorg. I'm off to bed - I'm on nights - YUCK!
