Q: What food should I give my child with a fever?
Answer(s) to this Question (
1 / 4
)
Water- inside or out? Both
Fever? This is not the time to force an introduction to bottled water supplements to exclusively breastfed babies, but by all means, try it. Crying, squirming and other rejection hints only increase the body´s temperature. Quit while you´re ahead and just give baby a bath, instead.
Feed a fever?
Fever and dehydration? Besides losing body fluids, important minerals and electrolytes are leeched from normal sources. Salt (sodium, Na) and Potassium (K) are very susceptible. You can replace these easily with child favorites, like potato chips and bananas. Carbonated beverages, like ginger ale and Coke are also sources of these missing links.
no BM in the AM or PM
Fever and dehydration? Expect bowel movements to become less frequent and a lot harder to pass. This is due to the water content being recycled out of the stool and used to help decrease a fever. Keep the child drinking.
Fever Finds
Shop and stock up on seasonal freezies before they disappear from the grocery shelves. Fevers do not only happen in the summer months and freezies are near impossible to find when there is two feet of snow on the ground. They also make great mini ice packs.
