So I spent 2 days at the pool with my 1yo. We do minimal sunscreen for vitamin D exposure (we're brown-skinned) and it was HOT so the water felt great. I think she was a little over-exposed and now has a fever (axillary) of 99.6, which means a body temp of 100.6. She's still mostly breastfed so of course I've encouraged that, but she's been super clingy and fussy. Didn't eat much dinner but still very animated and wants to play outside, but doesn't want to read but when someone holds her, she doesn't want to be put down. Okay, here's the question finally. Does it sound like she just needs to stay out of the sun for a while and push the fluids or is there something more I should do?
Thanks for listening mamas.
