Should i wake my baby to monitor his fever throughout the night?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not enough data: In general, i never wake a sick child unless they need timed medication (antibiotics).They need the sleep more than they need their temperature checked. There are tempdots, a strip applied to the forehead that registers the temperature continuously and can be read from a foot or more away.I don't find monitoring temp that helpful.Parents need to monitor fluid intake and pee patterns more.
