Monitor their temperature: Use a digital thermometer to measure your baby’s temperature. A fever is typically defined as a temperature of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius) or higher in babies.
-
Keep your baby hydrated: Offer your baby plenty of fluids, such as breast milk, formula, or water, to help prevent dehydration.
-
Dress your baby appropriately: Dress your baby in lightweight clothing and avoid using too many blankets or layers that could make them too hot.
-
Give fever-reducing medication: You can give your baby a dose of infant acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) if they have a fever or seem uncomfortable. Always follow the dosage instructions on the label or as directed by your healthcare provider.
-
Monitor your baby’s behavior: Pay attention to any changes in your baby’s behavior or any other symptoms that may indicate a more serious reaction to the vaccines. If you have any concerns, contact your healthcare provider.
