Sorry to hear that your baby is sick. Whenever our kids have fever in the middle of the night, we'll give them a sponging to bring down the temperature. Wonder if your baby is big enough for a sponge? As for the thermometer, perhaps you can try a forehead thermometer, which may be easier for a young infant. Hope she get well soon! Oh dear!

Is sponging effective? Is it same as "wiping" with a damp cloth? Wanted to wipe her to take down the temperature, but was afraid that she will catch a cold.....the old wives belief! Anyway, thanks again, will check out the forehead thermometer. Thanks, she is almost well now, hopefully the temperature doesn’t return again later. Is sponging effective?

Yes, we wipe the sick child with wet hankie and fan him/her to cool down. Don't use cold water if you are afraid that she will catch a cold. Glad that she’s better!
