my 7.5 month old dd has had a fever all day. acetaminophen helps bring it down, but it doesn't completely go away. we have an appt with the pedi tomorrow because a friend came over this weekend who unknowingly had strep and I think that's what dd has. i put her to bed early (we live in europe) because she's hasn't really slept all day or last night, but she only slept for 10 minutes and then started crying. so, should i let her cry until she falls asleep? she's been crying for about 30 minutes now. i can't just hold her all night - she needs to sleep right???? this is the first time she's ever been sick, so i'm feeling a bit lost.

chill out. I'm not criticizing. Just expressing my POV. I'll write it off to your being tired and worried. When an infant is sick, you just do what you can to get her to sleep and rest. Sounds like you are doing that [ Reply | More

Actually, my ped said that babies don't typically get strep and that it's rare to see it in a kid under 3--- they natuarlly fight it off well until they get older. [ Reply | More
