Baby started having fever this morning. It was his second time to have it, previously was just slight. Through all of his vaccines, he never had any maybe because he's on breastfeeding. As read, it contains antibodies and lymphocytes from the mother that helps the baby resist infection and protects him from illnesses. Thanks be to God!
Got his two lower front teeth last early month of June
I was wondering why he was having a fever today. I remember with the first, he just had it like an hour or two in the morning. Those were the days when his bottom front teeth begun to erupt. Right now two more coming through from his upper front teeth and was thinking that it might be the reason. Aside from that, normally he have normal stools but this afternoon it was soft.
Fun time with his elder sister Amber
I knew all the symptoms related to baby teething just like my first, when Amber was having hers, she never had a fever actually. But as some say so, just really wanted to be sure that fever is really associated with it so as a worried Mommy again, I dropped by on Babycenter for some pointers with this matter and this is what I've read:
What not to chalk up to teething
If your baby is suffering from diarrhea, fever, or a runny nose, don't dismiss it as merely a sign of teething, especially if the symptoms persist for more than 24 hours.
Even though plenty of parents swear that these symptoms seem directly related to their child's teething, there's no scientific proof that they are linked. A comprehensive analysis of 78 studies published in the Archives of Disease in Childhood in 2007, for example, found no connection between high fever and teething.
So if your child exhibits diarrhea or fever, call his doctor to rule out anything more serious.

My sparkling whites :)
If fever may not really be related to teething, the reason might also be how he took his bath yesterday as while he was on the bathtub, he keeps on immersing his face on the water trying to play with it. He takes a bath regularly on his bathtub but just only yesterday that he keeps on doing said thing. He enjoys being on water actually, he loves it!
A smile as sweet as spring :)
Right now, already took two doses of paracetamol since this morning. He's a bit moody and sensitive but still manages to smile and play. I'm just keeping an eye on him from time to time taking his temperature. God willing, he'll feel better soon...
"Keep on smiling!" :)
