Please roll over the numbers below for more information.

Remove your baby’s sheets and blankets and strip him down
to his nappy.

If your baby is over two months old, you can give him liquid
infant paracetamol. Using a dispenser can make this easier.
Some forms of ibuprofen (eg Nurofen for children) can be given
to babies above three months, but always check the label.

Keep your baby hydrated: offer him his normal feeds
(breast/formula milk) or cooled, boiled water often.

If he is under six months, or if you are at all worried about your
baby’s breathing or behaviour, seek medical advice immediately.
