Discoveries at 2 in the morning after a call to the night nurse:
If the baby has a fever for three days - see the doctor. (This is day one and a half).
If his temperature goes past 105 - see the doctor.
Muscle spasms are perfectly normal with a high fever.
Another discovery:
Popsicles are good. Popsicles are good. (And are good trojan horses for liquid medication).
Just things to know...

I would take a little alcohol on a face towel and rub it on her back. Hope your baby is better really, really soon.
