When our little one catches a cold or gets sick the time is hard for both of us.  We hate to see them in pain, and they hate to feel the pain.  If you suspect that your little one has a fever, I highly recommend that you take their temperature.  If higher than normal body temperature (98.6) then you should consider taking them to the doctor to see what their infection is.  Don’t have a baby thermometer?  Consider getting one of the top 5 listed below!
