How do I know if my baby is too hot or too cold?
How can I regulate my baby's temperature?
A mother or father's body heat will help regulate your baby's body heat if it seems to be too hot or too cold. Simply place your diapered child onto your chest and cover both of you up with a lightweight blanket. Of course, if your child's temperature spikes, cold baths and a trip to the doctor are in order. Some babies are prone to feverish seizures. This happens when the temperature spikes too high. This tends to not be damaging to growth or brain development but if your child is experiencing one, call 911 or your doctor immediately.
