3 month old and elevated temperature
DD is 3 months old and for the last few days has had a temp ranging from 37.3° - 37.7°
I know it isn't too high, but she is only in a nappy and loose top to keep her cool, and we've been in air con (although not too cold and not directly under it)
last night she couldn't settle til midnight and stirred every hour - she usually sleeps 9 til 6! She has also been restless at the boob and doesn't seem to be having as many feeds, but producing enough wet nappies
Should I get her checked over just in case? Thanks
Constipated? Breastfed Baby
I know BF babies aren't supposed to get constipated but I think my DS is. Over the last week or so we have been finding him with really thick sticky poos and blood in his nappy which I think is from straining rather than blood in his stools. His poos are a very mustardy yellow colour and the non pellet style ones are thick like peanut butter. He had gastro a week ago but didn't dehydrate and recovered fairly well. He is generally a happy baby but this last week he has been really sad at times. The pain mostly seems to come at night during his sleep. I hear him crying and we go to him and he's sleeping but in obvious pain, writhing and grunting and when he does wake, all he wants to do is go back to sleep so the boob fixes everything after only a few sucks. Prior to this his bowel movements were that of a normal BF baby, he'd go a few days without anything then have a whopper, then normal for a few days and then nothing and repeat.
Should I be worried or just wait it out? It's been a week like this.......
