I"m a daddy and I can relate (the mommy panicking a bit :), however, she trusts me with all this so she went along well. It was interesting to observe in our little one this past december, when it happened, and the additional food/juices helped. I approached it as her system sorting itself out, but needing the additional fuel to support it. I think where parents go really wrong is the increase in body temp/pulse don't get supported properly with additional fuel (proper of course) during this process. So when parents let their kids ride it out, things might turn bad because the lack of fuel is what actually created the "negative" effects of the fever.Interesting about epsom salt + BS baths. Thanks for the tip. I am pretty sure temperature increase is good for children as it helps them fight viruses but the problem is when it gets too high that the mother panics.
Hope that makes sense?
p.s- Our little one took more poops during this time which was a good thing :)
