My new born has a fever :( ftm

There probably isn't much I can do for my new born baby that has a fever.  He's three weeks. If there is something I can do to make him feel a little better please mom's inform me! Otherwise I will take him in to the hospital in the morning if it continues

I'm sorry for you and your baby!! My 4 week old has a cold, and the doctor didn't do anything. I guess they technically can't. Anyway, best wishes and healing to your baby!!

Fever over 100.4 needs reported to ypur doctor asap in newborns. It's more serious in newborns than toddlers. Make sure he isn't overdressed and that's what's causing a rise in temp. Poor guy. Hope he's better soon.

I would take him. Or call the hospital and ask if you should go.  Fevers are scary especially  since he is soo young.
