9.Try a Sponge Bath
A lukewarm sponge bath can help soothe a feverish baby and may bring down their temperature by a few degrees. Fill a tub with an inch or two of slightly warm water, and use a sponge or washcloth to wipe them down. Don’t use cold water, ice, or alcohol. If they are chilly, take them out of the bath.
10.Offer Healthy Foods
The saying “feed a cold, starve a fever” only got it half right. Little bodies need the energy from food to fight off that cold, and certain nutrients can strengthen the immune system. If your baby is eating solid food, give them meals that have protein, vegetables, and healthy fat. If you’re breastfeeding, keep it up. Breast milk protects against the germs that cause colds.
