A. For a 13-month-old baby with a fever, here are some steps you can take: 1. Monitor the Temperature: Use a digital thermometer to monitor your baby's temperature. A fever is typically considered a temperature above 100.4°F (38°C). 2. Hydration: Ensure your baby stays hydrated by offering breast milk, formula, or water frequently to prevent dehydration. 3. Comfortable Clothing: Dress your baby in light, breathable clothing and keep the room cool to help reduce the fever. 4. Fever Medication: If the fever is making your baby uncomfortable, you can give a fever-reducing medication like infant acetaminophen or ibuprofen, but follow the dosage instructions carefully based on your baby's weight and age. Always consult your pediatrician before administering any medication. 5. Rest: Ensure your baby gets plenty of rest to recover more quickly 6. Tepid Sponge Bath: You can also try giving a tepid (lukewarm) sponge bath to help bring down the temperature. If the fever persists for more than 24-48 hours, or if your baby shows signs of dehydration, difficulty breathing, persistent crying, or other concerning symptoms, contact your pediatrician for further advice.
