Is there anything that is cleaner and safer than the Baby Fever Frida {gel type of cold compress} that you stick on your baby or child’s head at any time while sick? I know a bag of ice would be great, but a baby couldn’t hold it on his his head. Thanks so much!

I just use a wash cloth and some cold water, dip and squeeze and out in on forehead. That way I can control water temperature and I know the cloth is clean at all times. ‍♀️

A bath and place in a tshirt. You have to let it run it's course, there's no way to force it down or to break mommy. I know, I know it's a bit painful to watch them sick (hugs)

A cool washcloth on the forehead or back of the neck for about 10 minutes. You can also put a cool washcloth your babies feet. They did this at the hospital when or son was a baby. No ice packs. It's to shocking to a babies system

My kids love these, I stick it on their head, neck or back and you can also cut it to fit the area.

How old is your child? Skin to skin with mom is a great temp regulator. If you are already doing Thankslenol and Motrin try it.
