Temperature in Babies
WHAT SHOULD THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE BE BEFORE PUTTING A NEWBORN IN A SWIMMING POOL?
Feb 19th
Question by aNewGrandma:
What should the temperature outside be before putting a newborn in a swimming pool?
My DIL’s parents bought a 5 ft. pool and filled it up last night. The temp’s here are stilling getting down into the 40′s or 50′s and being as it’s gonna get up to almost 80′s and windy this day they decided that they want to “try the baby out in the pool” to see how he likes it. He’s two months old and weighs a whopping 8 lbs. (He was two months premature).
I recommended that she NOT try the baby in the pool today, as it’s just not pool weather yet and the water temperature is toooooo cold and will swiftly lower his body temperature. He’s got all summer to get into the pool. I just do not comprehend them trying to rush EVERYTHING.
Does anyone know what the outside temp and water temp should be before putting a baby into a pool?
To answer someone’s question:
YES, I think they are NUTS.
I do realize that he is my DIL’s child and NOT MINE. HOWEVER, he is also my SON’S child and if her parent’s are going to recommend anything STUPID and/or endangering which they like to do then that’s why I get involved and notify my son (the baby’s DADDY).

IS IT OKAY TO GIVE MY INFANT OF 1 MONTH AND A WEEK PURIFIED WATER FROM A BOTTLE?
Feb 14th
Question by Bella:
Is it okay to give my infant of 1 month and a week purified water from a bottle?
Is it okay to give my baby of one month and a week bottle water? I mix part of the 16-oz water into his formula. I find it easier and faster to give my infant bottle water at room temperature and mix it in with his formula rather than having to heat water in the microwave to warm the formula up to room temp. that has been refreigerated. Also for how long can I keep using that left over bottle water that is left?? Thanks to anyone getting back to me.

WHAT IS CONSIDERED A TEMPERATURE IN BABIES?
Jan 23rd
Question by ddti:
WHAT IS CONSIDERED A TEMPERATURE IN BABIES?
3 month old with a temp ranging from 100.2-101 I am using a forehead scan thermometer, which I know is not as accurate as a rectal thermometer. Should I go ahead and give ibuprofen or wait?
Baby’s temperament seems pretty normal and NO other symptoms such as rash, teething etc.
Should I just monitor it until it reaches WHAT temp. and when should I give ibuprofen?
thank you!!!

NORMAL TEMPERATURE IN AN INFANT? NORMAL, OK, TOO LOW??
Jan 18th
Question by Tabbie:
normal temperature in an infant? normal, ok, too low??
ok i’m not a complete ditz when it comes to my daughter. but i’m curious about her temperature. i used an ear thermometer on her, the only kind i have. works fine, new battery.
well i took her temperature 3 times, 5 minutes apart. and it ranged from 96.2-96.6. now normally when we take her to the physician for a check up it’s around 98.5-9. she’s not acting too strange though i did notice she seems more crabby than usual. she was still kinda playing (more roling up in her blanket) and is still eating a little,but less than her normal.
she is 10 months old. i gave her a little motrin, did not know what else to do. she’s in a one piece footed fleece jammie outfit. after about an hour her temp had only reached 96.8. i have not taken it since because she’s in bed sleeping. is her temp any reason to cause alarm? and be serious here. i did not call her dr. because it was 7pm. did not take her to the ER because husband said she should be fine. but i’m still worried.
