my doc and nurse said monitor the fever and if it gets to 38 or above, go back to doc. also if it goes on beyond 48 hours.
baby panadol shouldn't be given for longer than 48 hours either - so it coincides nicely.
i just wrapped the boy lightly and used light sheets instead of bunny rug late at night. he would eat on his death bed so unfortunately i can't help you there - although he did fussbag with the nipple a bit.
i also did some bed cosleep feeds so i could keep an eye on him.
all you can do is watch E closely and get him back to the doc if he has a nasty fever or bad symptoms still hanging around by monday. mothers' intuition is an awesome thing, so just go with your instincts.
yesterday i put my nose on the top of james' head and told DH that he was running a temp. once i measured it he was up half a degree. let's see a Dad try that! mind you, i have my nose parked on his head most of the day sniffing up those baby caramel smells... *sniiiiiiff*
dh is off at a christmas party without me tonight. was thinking about rebecca's dh... i believe there'd be some butt-whoopin' going on round here if he tried that... as well as pie-facing you about where he was. i think he's in trouble!
