my bubs has a bit of cold going on at the moment wanting to know how low a tempt can go before i should be really concerned. i thought it was anything below 36?

She also hasnt eaten anything in a day and a half only drinking bottles notg even water which is very out of character for her.

sad poor bubs

If temp wont go down/stay down after a couple of doses of panadol, thats when i normally visit the dr...especially if not eating or drinking water. Are nappys wet?

I have always been told you should treat temperatures in babies very seriously if it does not come down after 12 hours with panadol. I think the main concern is dehydration but if she is still drinking thats a great sign, dont worry too much about not eating, i know when im sick i never feel like eating but dont let it go too much longer. best of luck to you

I see that you are actually asking about what is too LOW a temp.

I read that if bubs has a temp below 36 to wrap them warmly and check temp in 15 mins. If it hasn't risen see your doctor. I would ask your GP what they recommend or you could ring that 13health number if you're in australia?

It also depends a bit on how accurate your themometer. When not sick, we are all about 36.6 on our under arm themom, even tho normal temp is meant to be about 37.2 I think.
