Premature Birth - A Parental Guide

77 Now, let us address some of the common questions you might have related to baby care at home. 1) How do I ensure that my baby is warm and has the right temperature? You must monitor your baby’s temperature to make sure that she/he is always kept warm. Your baby's temperature can be checked by touching her/his feet or hands. If her/his hands or feet seem cooler than the rest of the body, your baby needs warmer clothing and a warmer environment. You need to ensure that the baby has warm clothes and that her/his head is covered with a scarf, especially during the night or when the temperature is cold outside. In case your baby has a fever and her/his temperature is more than 100oF, consult your doctor immediately.
