Question
How should I handle a newborn’s temperature of 37.8 degrees?
Answer
Firstly, you can use alcohol-based body wipes to help cool down the baby, and then further investigate the cause of the fever. There are many reasons for fever, the most common being infection, followed by connective tissue diseases and malignant tumors, among others. It is not recommended to rush into medication without determining the cause. Additionally, regarding the preparation of formula milk, after the baby is one month old, feed them approximately every three hours, with each feeding consisting of 80 milliliters. Offer two water feedings per day, and the concentration of the formula can be slightly diluted compared to the instructions on the can. This way, the baby’s bowel movements will also be normal.
